An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. government has cited national security as a reason not to let Chinese company Huawei build an LTE public safety network. They're worried about Huawei's close ties to the Chinese government and the threat of any devices Huawei manufactures being bugged. Of course, whoever gets the contract is going to be manufacturing their devices in China anyway, but it looks like a Chinese company won't be allowed to deploy the infrastructure."

In fact, unless a company has outside participation, it is 100% owned AND MANAGED by the gov.
Which is totally incompatible with the American model, where the government is 100% owned and managed by the corporations.
