Japan's government has decided to revise its procedures for purchasing telecommunications equipment, a move that would effectively exclude Chinese telecom giants.
Officials in charge of cybersecurity in each ministry and agency made the decision at a meeting on Monday to prevent data leaks in cyberattacks.
The government has until now bought telecom equipment based solely on price. But from the fiscal year starting next April, officials are to take into account national security risks, such as whether products are programmed with malicious functions in the development and production process.
Officials plan to see whether equipment already purchased until this fiscal year has such functions.
Sounds pretty obvious to be honest. When 3g was rolled out in the UK the Chinese government offered to pay for and install the entire installation for free. Which is very generous of them. All they stood to gain was complete control of the UKs communication network?
We turned them down.

At this point though, does it really matter anymore?
Between China slipping in the invasion switch in everything they make from phones to even dumb USB keyboard, to an increasingly maliciously leftist Google censoring information to suit their agenda, to Apple as a trillion dollar company somehow allowing their system to be compromised like in the Fappening?
We're fucked. No matter what we do or don't do, we're fucked.
Good, Japan is not going out quietly into the night.

Theres literally no reason to celevrste this. No matter what we do, we're fucked. We have no choice but to let commies and kikes have a forever victory over us. There is no other option. Many on this site are already agreeing. We are spineless, hopeless, impotent slime with no futures. We're done for.
