just accept that...

The Chinese spy. Treat it like the weather, it happens, regularly, with no specific degree of severity from one day to the next. You'll live longer and have less stress.

Re: just accept that...

WTF are you talking about. Softbank is a Japanese company, and even though you think they might all look alike, I assure you the Japanese and the Chinese are nothing alike.

I think the reference was to the ties of ZTE and Hawie (sic?) which are Chinese. Trying reading before atempting to educate.

Logic Fail! ZTE and Hawei are only claiming to be partners in the sense that Softbank bought their networking hardware to deploy 4G in Japan. There is no indication that they would do the same thing in the US considering Sprint's LTE deployment is well under way which Hawei and ZTE tried to bid for yet were blocked. I doubt a Softbank owned Sprint will violate existing contract to spite their face value.
