&gt; Podesta will work to advance a variety of the company’s goals in Washington, according to one of the people. He declined to comment. A spokesperson for Huawei also declined to comment.<p>Very transparent for some one that is going to work with the country representatives.<p>Corruption: dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.<p>China has realized what Russia knows so well. You don&#x27;t compete with the USA, it&#x27;s cheaper and more effective to buy its politicians.

Don’t forget this is the guy who came under investigation in 2018 and his entire lobbying firm imploded. He’s lucky he’s not in jail.

<i>. . . Hillary Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta . . . is a long-term associate of the Clintons and was President Bill Clinton&#x27;s Chief of Staff from 1998 until 2001. Mr Podesta also owns the Podesta Group with his brother Tony, a major lobbying firm and is the Chair of the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Washington DC-based think tank.</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wikileaks.org&#x2F;podesta-emails&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wikileaks.org&#x2F;podesta-emails&#x2F;</a>

This looks a lot like a legalized form of bribery. Is there any way to account for this or distinguish it from more transparent bribery? Is there any way to identify the effects of this? For example, if we see that Huawei is suddenly acceptable in infrastructure contracts where there would have otherwise been major national security concerns, is there any way to even identify who is responsible for undermining national security from inside?

With his deep ties through out the Biden Administration, it&#x27;s a brilliant move. Meng should sigh a breath of relief, she will be free soon to return to China and all US Gov charges will be dropped. Look to also see Huawei sanctions removed. Hard to buy the Chinese and Russians but American Politicians will whore themselves out for the cost of a hooker, golf game and dinner, plus a couple of points on the deal.<p>It&#x27;s so nice to know your elected officials work for foreign powers and themselves and they say the folks who stormed the capital were the terrorists.

The first time I heard that name (as a non US citizen) was in a documentary about breitbart.com founder Andrew Breitbart, who apparently did not like the guy. I found this article about Podesta (on breitbart, so take that with a grain of salt, or an entire salt mine): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.breitbart.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2016&#x2F;11&#x2F;04&#x2F;remembering-andrew-breitbart-fck-john-podesta&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.breitbart.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2016&#x2F;11&#x2F;04&#x2F;remembering-an...</a><p>Looks like Podesta is everything the &#x27;Drain-the-swamp&#x27; Trump supporters hate. This deal is probably fueling a lot of debate on their social platforms right now.

I would really appreciate if HiSilicon once again was allowed to fab via TSMC.<p>Fine if the US doesn&#x27;t want to buy any of Huawei&#x27;s products, but for us in the rest of the world. Please allow us.

Hmmm. Mega-lobbyist. Brother worked for both Obama and Bill Clinton. Takes job with Huawei.<p>Nope, nothing going on here. At least not in comparison to Hunter Biden&#x27;s art sales and Ukranian petro job.
