Impressive how much power the USA has over UK. It is known that Cisco has backdoors in their routers - and UK politics doesn't care. Now the Trump administration is spreading the rumor that Huawei hardware _might_ have backdoors (when the most plausible actual reason for this warning is to gain the upper hand in the trade war) and England is already putting the wish into action.

UK is in a weird spot now alone in the world out of the EU.

The country is essentially for sale. China just needs to make the "right" political donations.

They did try and it wasn't enough. Or as you put it, wasn't the 'right' candidate.
