Ah I see the law of unintended consequences is busy at work in China...

Australia has banned Chinese technology giant Huawei from bidding to help build a nationwide high-speed Internet network due to concern about cyber attacks traced to China.

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Monday the move was among "prudent decisions" to ensure the planned network functions properly.

The ban highlights concern about Beijing's cyber warfare efforts, a spate of hacking attempts aimed at Western companies and the role of Chinese equipment providers, which are expanding abroad.

Huawei Technologies Ltd. is one of the world's biggest producers of switching equipment that forms the heart of phone and data networks. The company rejected suggestions it might be a security risk and said it has won the trust of global telecoms carriers.

Beijing's relations with Western governments have been strained by complaints about hacking traced to China and aimed at oil, technology and other companies. A U.S. congressional panel has said it will investigate whether allowing Huawei and other Chinese makers of telecoms gear to expand in the United States might aid Chinese spying.

...the rest of this rather interesting development can be found at Cyberwar Central.

P.S. - Hawksss, here let me save you some time, "Australia is irrelevant, the USA is irrelevant, Western Europe is irrelevant...CHINA NUMBA 1!, CHINA NUMBA 1!" ...there I think I pretty much captured every argument you have ever made on WAFF in past three years nicely.

Hardly a security issue more like they don't want Chinese firms to dominate on certain area of Australia. Just like the Americans they did the samething. China should block all Australian firms for bidding on any future Chinese contracts.

"Just like the Americans they did the samething. China should block all Australian firms for bidding on any future Chinese contracts."

For the most part China does not open up major contracts from any major state controlled Chinese firm to any company that does not have substantial Chinese operations.

...so China will have no problems finding other sources of iron ore...$39B worth of it?

I think it does work both ways .. you wouldn't kill your golden goose, would you ?

We just wait and see .....

But India is insignificant .. go, go back to your outdoor toilet, too smelly here

"I think it does work both ways .. you wouldn't kill your golden goose, would you ?"

Indeed it does, China's markets are closed and not accessible to external competitors, why should any other country give Chinese companies access to their markets?

"But India is insignificant .. go, go back to your outdoor toilet, too smelly here"

Why does everyone think I'm Indian?

Sorry to disappoint you all, but I am a naturally born Canadian of German/Scottish descent.
