The Chinese government, the people that wrote the book on spying on its citizens, doesn't want foreign businesses spying on its people. ;)

Chief casualty is U.S. network equipment maker Cisco Systems Inc, which in 2012 counted 60 products on the Central Government Procurement Center's list, but by late 2014 had none, a Reuters analysis of official data shows. Apple Inc has also been dropped over the period, along with Intel Corp's security software firm McAfee and network and server software firm Citrix Systems.

China has the ability to wield state-owned, or at the very least, state-sponsored monopolies at an international level. If you thought Samsung was bad for being a chaebol, just wait.
 
curious what they replaced Cisco with?
 
This is par for the course with China. You let the big players come in to bid and build out / etc - then you rip off their designs and kick them to the curb.

Look up how they did their high-speed rail. They had Kawasaki come in and do the prototype, then voided the contract and built replicas of what Kawasaki made.

This poster knows. It's bad for your health to do biz with them.
 
The fix is easy, but corporate USA doesn't have the balls to simply stop doing business with China. Money trumps everything.

Eh...So the Chinese gov't takes advantage of US corporations to build out their infrastructure, while the (corporately owned) US gov't takes advantage of the Chinese gov't by selling trillions in treasury bonds they're likely never going to repay to get the cash to build out infrastructure.
/smh
 
In both cases mega-corporation and government are essentially interchangeable, just in China the gov't controls the corporations and in the US the corporations control the gov't.
