***** I believe that this is an important
article, despite its numerous pitfalls, because it provides some understanding of what is behind the
kidnaping of the Huawei executive in Canada in the beginning of December.
It was slightly incomprehensible (perhaps intentionally); so, it has been EDITED
( if you wish to read the original, please go to the source). I had also many questions and
comments, which are added in bold green.*****

Pro: Western Allies Need To Avoid Chinese 5G Equipment [does the author mean ‘Pro:’, as in Professional, or ‘Pro-’, as in Pro-Western? He certainly means ‘Pro-Western’ (as the http syntax suggests) and the aim of the article is to provide directions to pro-western allies about how to proceed regarding this phenomenal Chinese technological innovation.]
Jayson Derrick , Benzinga, December 11, 2018.
The worldwide shift to 5G data is "hugely geopolitically contentious", according to Kevin Allison, of Eurasia Group. [Sure!!! Geopolitical, hein? Does it mean that China is winning something?]
What Happened
5G will allow a large number of internet-connected devices to communicate with each other almost instantaneously across a wide geographic area, Allison said in the Monday CNBC interview. This creates not only a faster network, but a "new network" that will include self-driving cars, smart cities and next-generation factories.
Why It is Important
Given the importance of 5G technology, geopolitical events need to be considered, Allison said.
The US is encouraging its Western allies not to include 5G equipment made by China's Huawei. Several countries such as Australia and New Zealand [as well as UK and Japan] have already banned 5G, according to CNBC.
The decision to ban Huawei and other Chinese firms stems from a combination of national security and economic concerns, Allison said. [‘National security’ or ‘liberal capitalism security? It is more likely that capitalism will die with this new technology!]
The [country] leader in deploying 5G technologies will likely see a faster-growing economy, stronger military, and a population with a longer lifespan due to advances in health care, he said. [The military advances will definitely cause a geopolitical shift!]
"It's a hugely geopolitically consequential network upgrade."
[It is also a shift in the social-relations of labout as we know them!] Telecommunication giant Verizon Communications Inc. confirmed Monday that more than 10,000 of its employees will voluntarily leave the company ahead of its push toward 5G technology.
[Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg said that, “for the entire V Team, there will be opportunities to work differently as we prepare for the great things to come... Together, we are leading the world during this great technological revolution, and we will continue to lead the way."] [This means that employees will just change responsibilities; they will not lose their jobs! In other words: IT IS A REVOLUTION! Read this article on Verizon decision about 5G or visit Verizon site.]
What's Next
[This last paragraph has been entirely revised:] The future of global 5G technology is likely to be contingent of networks built with Chinese technologies in some countries, and networks "built to be free from Chinese technologies" in other countries, Allison said. [This can only mean that, at least for some time, the world will be split into two different socio-economic systems, as this new Chinese technology will certainly allow fundamental changes in capitalism, leading to its demise as pointed above. The new socio-economic system, socialism, will be established in the States that adopt the new Chinese technology, and the fading liberal capitalism will remain in the others. I think that it is clear which side will win, at the end…]
