Economic adviser Larry Kudlow believes that bleeding Bytedance could cut off its hand to save itself.

“We haven’t made final decisions [on the ban] but as has been reported in some places, I think TikTok is going to pull out of the holding company which is China-run and operate as an independent company,” Kudlow said.

In such a situation, TikTok could slip out of the clutches of the Communist Party.&nbsp;TikTok’s ban is an economic loss for China —&nbsp;something that adds to a long list of troubles for the Communist Party.

According to the official data, the urban unemployment rate was around 5.7 per cent in June. It is believed that the&nbsp;actual numbers could be much worse. According to a report, 80 million service sector employees and 20 million manufacturing jobs have been affected by the coronavirus.

In addition, companies are moving out of China. Apple’s supplier Foxconn has announced its plans for India. The manufacturer for iPhones and iPads will invest one billion dollars over the next three years and the money will go towards Foxconn’s plant in Tamil Nadu.

For now, this facility produces lower end variants of the iPhone. After the investment, the plant will make other iPhone models that are produced in China.

Until now, China was facing the threat&nbsp;of economic distancing from the world. However, now companies that called China their home are moving away.

Th Trump administration is reportedly considering to impose a sweeping travel ban on 92 million&nbsp;members of&nbsp;Communist Party&nbsp;of&nbsp;China along with their family members.

The&nbsp;presidential order will be based on the Immigration and Nationality Act used in a 2017 travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries.

The move will almost certainly prompt retaliation against Americans seeking to enter or remain in China and escalate tensions between the two countries.

President Donald Trump has not ruled out further sanctions on top Chinese officials that could come in addition to actions taken this week to punish China for its handling of Hong Kong, a White House National Security Council spokesman said on Wednesday.

The Hong Kong Autonomy Act, which Trump signed on Tuesday, allows him to impose sanctions and visa restrictions on Chinese officials and financial institutions involved in the imposition of China's new national security law in Hong Kong.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also&nbsp;took fresh aim at China, saying the United States would impose visa restrictions on Chinese firms like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd that he accused of facilitating human-rights violations.

"Whether it is TikTok or any of the other Chinese communications platforms, apps, infrastructure, this administration is taking seriously the requirement to protect the American people from having their information end up in the hands of the Chinese&nbsp;Communist&nbsp;Party."

Pompeo said Washington hoped to have another set of decisions shortly on Chinese telecoms firms that would reflect the need to protect US&nbsp;citizens' data from Beijing.

"General Secretary Xi Jinping made a choice to violate the Chinese&nbsp;Communist&nbsp;Party’s promises to Hong Kong that were made in U.N.-registered treaty. He didn’t have to do that and he made that choice,” Pompeo told reporters.

US mulls travel ban on 92 million members of Communist Party of China : Report

A growing number of countries are recognising the threat to data privacy from using mobile technology from the Chinese giant Huawei, and are likely to shun the company when building out their 5G networks, the top US security advisor said Wednesday.

"Each country is going to make their decisions for their own country, but I think there's a growing recognition everywhere that Huawei is a problem," National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien told journalists in Paris.

His comments came after three days of talks with counterparts from France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Britain, which surprised many on Tuesday by banning Huawei entirely from its 5G rollout.

"Europe is awakening to the threat of China," O'Brien said, citing the country's aggressive moves against Hong Kong as well as India in recent weeks as Western nations grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite months of US pressure, other European nations have only imposed limits on using Huawei equipment for 5G or declined to do so, in part over fears of angering a major economic power.

Washington believes Huawei gear could give Chinese authorities a back door into networks that would allow it not only to spy on government secrets but also sweep up vast amounts of personal data.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-hails-british-ban-on-chinas-huawei-313334">Also read |&nbsp;US hails British ban on China's Huawei</a>

"Imagine how a country like China could interfere with elections if they knew everything about every single person on earth," O'Brien said.

He said he reiterated "strong evidence" of the links between Huawei, founded by a former Chinese army engineer, and the Chinese Communist Party, "and we've made that evidence available to our partners".

"I don't want to get into some of the more recent technical information that we were able to provide," he said, but asked if that played into the British government's decision this week, he answered "I think it did."

"Our concern with 5G is that it is going to be very difficult to separate the core from the periphery, and that is the track the UK was on, and the UK has decided they now have to brick Huawei out completely," he said.

Other countries including Australia, New Zealand and India have already taken a hard line against Huawei, and France and Italy have announced severe limits on its gear for 5G networks.

"I don't think you'll see much 5G Huawei in France and Italy," O'Brien said.

"We'll have to see about the others," he said. "There's not much we can offer in exchange because we're not trying to sell US telecom equipment to other countries."

"But what we do get in return is that we know that we can rely on our partners, and exchange intelligence and exchange technology," he said.

US is the biggest human rights abuser, says China on Trump administration's visa sanction on Huawei employees

China said Wednesday it will take necessary measures to safeguard its own interests following Britains decision to purge all Huawei 5G network equipment from the country.

Chinese ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters that China strongly opposes Britain's decision because it was driven by commercial politicization of technological issues rather than national security.

US officials hailed Britain's decision, saying it showed a "growing international consensus" that Huawei and other companies allegedly linked to the Chinese state pose a threat to national security.

China strongly opposes UK's Huawei ban; will act to protect its interests

On wednesday China voiced against UK's move on Huawei 5G Network. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying holds a media briefing to slam UK. Hua said, this ban will only hurt UK's interest, she calls this ban a political move.

Foreign ministry briefing: China slams UK ban on Huawei 5G Network

China has been supplying weapons to India’s neighbourhood but Huawei which is one of its most potent weapons to dominate the world is losing power with several leading countries banning the Chinese company.

As an angry China vented&nbsp;its ire through cartoons published by the Chinese state broadcaster showing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson trying to tear down a Huawei tower - the picture might soon become a reality with Huawei under intense scrutiny in the UK.

Just last week, the company’s representatives were grilled by lawmakers in London.&nbsp;

"The Chinese state has a history of stealing intellectual property, do you believe if we allow Huawei into 5G, that this country will be more vulnerable to a cyberattack?" Graham Stringer, Labour MP asked Huawei officials. &nbsp;&nbsp;

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-is-huawei-now-turning-into-a-global-pariah-313106/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

Wenbing Yao, the &nbsp;director of strategy and marketing at Huawei replied to the UK lawmaker, saying: "Obviously, there is no evidence to support the claim that if Huawei built&nbsp;the 5G network in the country and that, you know, it'll attract more cyber attacks."&nbsp;

"Would it not make Huawei's argument and credibility easier and stronger if you confirmed that there's a chance you will provide data when asked by the Chinese or indeed any other government?" Conservative MP Logan asked to which Jeremy Thompson, executive vice-president of Huawei said: "It's not our role to operate the network or to touch customer data."

All this could lead to a ban on Huawei in the UK. The British government might keep Huawei out of its mobile network. A ban will be a clear U-turn but PM Boris Johnson is not alone in doing it. He will be one of the six world leaders to bar Huawei in one form or another and considering the global anti-China wave, the announcement from PM Johnson remains a mere formality.&nbsp;

"I am very, very determined to get broadband into every part of this country, you know, reaching out for across the whole of the UK and we are convinced that we can do it and I am also determined that the UK should not be in any way be vulnerable to high-risk state vendors," the British prime minister said.

Meanwhile, the list of countries that have banned Huawei keeps getting longer. The United States by far has been the most aggressive not only does Huawei face a ban in the US market, the government has also barred American companies from doing business with Huawei. Australia had blacklisted the company two years ago. New Zealand is blocking Huawei too. Italy and Canada reportedly might follow suit soon.&nbsp;

London’s plans would unite the five eyes — the UK, US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand — or a broader group of “D-10” nations formed of the G-7 plus India, South Korea and Japan in a joint enterprise collaborating on investment, procurement and research to fast-track Huawei’s rivals.

An alliance could take shape to hunt alternatives to Huawei. It is called the D-10 alliance which includes the G-7 countries plus India, South Korea and Japan. The United States would like to see alliance take shape and reports say that the United Kingdom has now begun persuading allies too.&nbsp;

All eyes are on India now. The Indian government is yet to decide on Huawei's fate but after the ban on 59 Chinese apps, a ban on Huawei looks like the logical next step.&nbsp;

Gravitas: Is Huawei now turning into a global pariah?

After the British government banned Chinese telecom giant Huawei from its 5G network, Finnish telecom maker Nokia said it was "ready to replace all of the Huawei equipment in the UK's networks at scale and speed."

Huawei said the decision to ban the company was &nbsp;"disappointing" and "politicised".

The company's spokesman added that the ban was "bad news for anyone in the UK with a mobile phone."

"This ban is about trade policy and not security," it added. The Huawei spokesman said the UK ban threatens to "move Britain into a digital slow lane."

Meanwhile, Finnish telecom maker Nokia said: "We have the capacity and expertise to replace all of the Huawei equipment in the UK's networks at scale and speed, and are ready to step up to support the implementation of the UK government decision with minimal impact on the people using our customers’ networks."

Nokia is one of the prime competitors of Huawei in the 5G infrastructure development.

The British government banned the purchasing of 5G equipment from China's Huawei from December 31.

The Huawei spokesman said the UK ban threatens to "move Britain into a digital slow lane." Meanwhile, Finnish telecom maker Nokia said: "We have the capacity and expertise to replace all of the Huawei equipment in the UK's networks at scale and speed, and are ready to step up to support the implementation of the UK government decision with minimal impact on the people using our customers’ networks." Nokia is one of the prime competitors of Huawei in the 5G infrastructure development. The British government banned the purchasing of 5G equipment from China's Huawei from December 31.

Britain bans Huawei from its 5G network as UK chairman John Browne resigns

Huawei is making a last-minute attempt to persuade U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to ban the Chinese telecoms from the U.K.’s 5G mobile networks by 2025.

Your Story: Boris Johnson urges ban on Huawei in UK

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to ban Huawei from Britain's 5G network in a landmark decision as the United States grapples with China's rising economic and technological clout.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to ban Huawei from Britain's 5G network in a landmark decision as the United States grapples with China's rising economic and technological clout. The decision is likely to anger Beijing but win praise from President Donald Trump. The United States has pushed Johnson to reverse his January decision to grant Huawei a limited role in 5G, while London is disappointed by a crackdown in Hong Kong and by the perception that China did not tell the whole truth over coronavirus. Britain's National Security Council (NSC), chaired by Johnson, will meet on Tuesday to discuss Huawei. Media Secretary Oliver Dowden will announce a decision to the House of Commons later in the day. The immediate excuse to reverse the British policy is the impact of new US sanctions on chip technology, which London says affects Huawei's ability to remain a reliable supplier in the future. It is unclear how far Johnson will go on Tuesday. Operators already had to cap Huawei's role in 5G at 35% by 2023. Reducing it to zero over an additional two to fours years is now being discussed, although some telecoms firms have warned that going too fast could delay key technology and disrupt services. The United States says Huawei, the world's biggest producer of telecoms equipment, is an agent of the Chinese Communist State and cannot be trusted. Huawei denies it spies for China and has said the United States wants to frustrate its growth because no U.S. company could offer the same range of technology at a competitive price.

Britain set to ban Huawei from 5G infrastructure, though timeline unclear

China`s Huawei Technologies has requested a meeting with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to work out a deal to delay its potential removal from the country`s 5G phone network, the Sunday Times newspaper reported on Sunday.

The Chinese telecoms equipment maker is seeking to delay its removal from the from the country`s 5G telecoms networks until after elections in June 2025, in the expectation that the new government may reverse the decision, the newspaper reported.

Huawei will in return pledge to maintain its equipment in the UK, which is also used in the 2G, 3G and 4G networks, the report added.

Britain granted Huawei a limited role in its future 5G networks in January, but ministers have since said the introduction of U.S. sanctions on the company means it may no longer be a reliable supplier.

Johnson has faced intense pressure from the United States and some British lawmakers to ban the telecommunications equipment maker on security grounds.

China`s ambassador to London, Liu Xiaoming, warned last week that getting rid of Huawei would send a "very bad message" to Chinese business.

A government update on the Chinese company is expected to be published before July 22, according to a government minister and official.

Huawei to request UK to delay 5G network removal

Chinese telecom company Huawei believes it can still supply 5G kit to the United Kingdom&nbsp;despite the sanctions imposed on it by the United States.

Fearing a wider ban the firm has stockpiled&nbsp;500,000 kits after&nbsp;Britain's health minister said it&nbsp;has to clear certains conditions for Britain to continue to allow its involvement in the development of 5G telecoms infrastructure.

The US ban prevents Huawei from using American microchips or any chips designed with American software. The NCSC is expected to conclude that Huawei kit will no longer be secure because it will have to rely on untested chips.

But Johnson also pledged last year to bring broadband access to all Britons by 2025. Huawei&nbsp;equipment is already ubiquitous in Britain's older-generation 3G and 4G networks.

British telecoms companies have warned that stripping out all existing&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;equipment could cost them billions and take years to implement.

The Chinese company argues that 5G will become even more important as the world switches to home working because of the new coronavirus.

Huawei believes it can supply 5G kit to UK despite US sanctions

Hundreds of Nokia's employees have risen up in protest holding up t-shirts that read: COVID-19 spared me, but Nokia wants to kill me with CEO Rajeev Suri being a special target.

A placard with his photo said: "Suri, you're fired". Nokia plans to cull over 1,200 jobs at its French subsidiary Alcatel Lucent. Most of the layoffs will be carried out in the research and development division.

The unions are shocked that Nokia is doing it now at a time when the R&amp;D is needed the most to catch up with Huawei and Ericsson which are Nokia's two strongest competitors in the 5G race.

History is repeating itself yet again for Nokia. The lack of vision had pushed Nokia out of the cellphone business with the telecom network business coming off the rails. Nokia has faced problems with Alcatel-Lucent since acquiring it for $18 billion in 2016. On paper it was a good deal, in practice, however, it was complicated. Several overlapping operations and products had to be shed-off and costs had to be cut.

It distracted Nokia in the 5G race and it stopped innovating - now it's losing. Huawei leads with 91 5G deals, Ericsson sits in second place with 81 deals with Nokia a distant third with 67 deals.

On the financial front, Nokia has been leaking money since the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition, also, due to poor investments in products. Ericsson, on the other hand, has been turning more profitable. Huawei is dominating despite security concerns but Nokia is losing its way.

It is eerily similar to how its cellphone business collapsed. In 2007, the global mobile phone sales crossed the $1 billion mark for the first time. Nokia had sold one out of two mobile phones that year that means half a billion mobile phones!

The Nokia 1100 had become the world's largest selling mobile phone with over 1.2 billion units sold since its launch in 2003. Forbes asked the perfect question when it made Nokia its cover story for one of the issues: Nokia - 1 billion customers: Can anyone catch the cellphone king?

The answer to this question came that very year - the iPhone!

Steve Jobs showcased the first iPhone in 2007 and within two years Nokia's button phones were out of fashion.

iPhone's super-fine touch screen changed everything and Nokia's share price plummeted below 10 dollars - a very steep fall from 40 dollars per share at its peak in 2007 and by 2013, iPhone sales were five times that of Nokia's. In the same year unable to adapt, innovate and compete with Apple, Nokia sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft.

Nokia's fall became a case study at business schools which was taught to young wanna-be executives as a cautionary tale. There were two reasons that led to Nokia's collapse - inferior technology due to lack of innovation and lack of vision among top-level managers.

Nokia is committing the same mistake in the 5G race. So, CEO Rajiv Suri will be replaced by Pekka Lundmark, if the new CEO can beat Huawei and Ericsson given Nokia's current situation it will be one of the greatest business stories of all time.

Hundreds of Nokia's employees have risen up in protest holding up t-shirts that read: COVID-19 spared me, but Nokia wants to kill me with CEO Rajeev Suri being a special target.

Can Nokia's new CEO Pekka Lundmark beat Huawei, Ericsson in 5G race?

Chinese telecoms giant&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;urged Britain on Wednesday not to rush into taking any costly decision to phase out its equipment from the UK's 5G network because of US sanctions.

The plea followed reports of Prime Minister Boris Johnson receiving a damning security agency reassessment about the long-term safety of&nbsp;Huawei.

The British review was triggered by new US sanctions that blocked&nbsp;Huawei's access to US chips and semi-conductors at the heart of 5G networks.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/huawei-likely-to-be-cut-out-of-uks-5g-network-310971/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

Johnson's government allowed&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;to roll out up to 35 percent of Britain's 5G network under the condition that it stays out of "core" elements dealing with personal data.

But the latest restriction raised the possibility of&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;having to switch from trusted US suppliers to alternatives whose safety could not be guaranteed by UK security agencies.

Huawei&nbsp;vice president Victor Zhang said the long-term impact of the US sanctions will take months to fully understand.

They will enter into force in September unless China manages to change US President Donald Trump's mind.

"We urge the UK government to take more time," Zhang told a conference call.

"What we are talking about is the long-term impact. It takes time. It takes months to understand."

Zhang said any decision to simply cut&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;out of the speedy new network's development could delay nationwide 5G access for up to 18 months.

He estimated that a two-year delay would cost the UK economy £29 billion ($35.8 billion, 31.8 billion euros).

"The decision will impact the future of Britain's digital strategy and Britain's digital economy,&nbsp;it is so important," Zhang said.

Johnson is&nbsp;under growing political pressure to dump&nbsp;Huawei&nbsp;and adopt a tougher line with China for its treatment of Hong Kong and repression of ethnic Uighurs in the western Xinjiang region.

Huawei urges Britain not to rush into 5G decision; grant stay of execution

Italy is considering whether to exclude Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies from building its 5G network, La Repubblica reported, without citing sources.

Despite pressure from Washington, which says Huawei's equipment could be used to spy on the West, Italy has so far not ruled the Chinese company out its network plans.

No comment was immediately available from the Italian government. Huawei, which has repeatedly denied the U.S. allegations, declined to comment.&nbsp;

A political source said the issue was under discussion.

"It's being considered at government level," the source told Reuters on Wednesday after the La Repubblica report, which said Italy's Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio met the U.S. ambassador in Rome last week for talks which included Huawei.

"The Italian government is preparing a change of course as are many of its European partners," the newspaper said, adding that Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri and Defence Minister Lorenzo Guerini had brought up the issue informally.

"Guerini is certainly the one taking the most Atlanticist line," the political source told Reuters.

Even members of the anti-establishment 5 Star Movement, part of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte's ruling coalition, who initially favoured Huawei, were rethinking, La Repubblica said.&nbsp;

It said Italian officials believed that even if Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden wins the November presidential election, Washington's stance on Huawei was unlikely to change.

US sanctions designed to restrict the ability of China’s Huawei to source advanced microchips for 5G equipment is likely to have a significant impact on the reliability of the supplier, Britain’s culture minister said on Monday.

Oliver Dowden told Sky News he would not comment on reports that officials are drawing up proposals to stop installing Huawei equipment but said the UK decision was not “not fixed in stone”.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday he would proceed carefully on making a decision on Huawei because the government did not want any critical infrastructure to be controlled by “potentially hostile state vendors”.

“I don’t want to see our critical national infrastructure at risk of being in any way controlled by potentially hostile state vendors,” Johnson told the Evening Standard when asked about the Chinese telecommunications giant’s possible involvement in Britain’s 5G network. “So we have to think very carefully about how to proceed now.”

British lawmakers have been pushing Prime Minister Boris Johnson to reconsider a January decision to grant Huawei a limited role in Britain’s 5G networks.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday he would proceed carefully on making a decision on Huawei because the government did not want any critical infrastructure to be controlled by “potentially hostile state vendors”.

The UK is all to end the use of Huawei technology in its 5G network as soon as this year because of security concerns, according to reports. The prime minister, Boris Johnson, is set to make a major policy change after Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is believed to have reassessed the risks posed by the Chinese technology company, British newspapers have said.

We must proceed carefully on decisions related to Huawei, says UK PM Boris Johnson

The United States has banned two Chinese corporations - Huawei and ZTE. Australia has decided to increase its defence spending to counter the rise of China. WION's Palki Sharma tells you how different countries are stepping up their defences against China.

Gravitas: How the world is stepping up their defences against China

The US telecommunications regulator&nbsp;Federal Communications Commission(FCC) on Tuesday formally designated China's&nbsp;Huawei Technologies Co and ZTE Corp as posing threats to US&nbsp;national security.

The&nbsp;declaration bars US&nbsp;tech firms from tapping an $8.3 billion Universal Service Fund to purchase equipment from the companies, effective immediately.

This fund was established in 1997 and is a programme that provides subsidies to companies while purchasing equipment and services for the maximisation of access to the telecom industry in a country.

The US&nbsp;telecommunications&nbsp;regulator had voted in November to issue the declaration and had proposed requiring rural carriers to remove and replace equipment from the two Chinese companies from existing US&nbsp;networks.

''Both companies have close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and China’s military apparatus, and both companies are broadly subject to Chinese law obligating them to cooperate with the country’s intelligence services,''&nbsp;FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said in a statement Tuesday.

''We cannot and will not allow the Chinese Communist Party to exploit network vulnerabilities and compromise our critical communications infrastructure," he added.

Huawei and ZTE did not immediately respond to requests for comment but have previously sharply criticized the FCC's actions.

FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks said on Tuesday that "untrustworthy equipment" remains in place in US&nbsp;networks and said the US&nbsp;Congress must allocate funding for replacements.

In May 2019, US President Trump had signed an executive order declaring a national emergency and barring US&nbsp;companies from&nbsp;using telecommunications equipment made by companies posing a national security risk. The Trump administration had also added Huawei to its trade blacklist last year.

The FCC has taken an increasingly hard line against Chinese firms.&nbsp;In April, the FCC said it may shut down US&nbsp;operations of three state-controlled Chinese&nbsp;telecommunications&nbsp;companies

The FCC required China Telecom Americas, China Unicom Americas, Pacific Networks Corp and its wholly-owned subsidiary ComNet (USA) LLC to explain why it should not start the process of revoking authorizations enabling their U.S. operations.

The FCC granted its approvals to the firms more than a decade ago.

In May 2019, the FCC voted to deny another state-owned Chinese&nbsp;telecommunications&nbsp;company, China Mobile Ltd, the right to provide US&nbsp;services, citing risks that the Chinese government could&nbsp;use the company to conduct espionage against the US&nbsp;government.

Gravitas: India bans Chinese apps | Is Huawei next?

The wife of one of the two detained Canadians in China has expressed her disappointment over Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's refusal to consider the 'prisoner swap'.

Few days ago, a&nbsp;group of 19 prominent figures, including former cabinet ministers and diplomats, wrote a letter urging Trudeau to halt the extradition proceedings against Meng, with a hope that two detained citizens will finally be let free by China.

However, Trudeau rejected the request and said, “(This) would endanger the millions of Canadians who live and travel overseas every single year. We cannot allow political pressures or random arrests of Canadian citizens to influence the functioning of our justice system."

Now, in an interview with a local media channel,&nbsp;Michael Kovrig's wife,&nbsp;Vina Nadjibulla, has expressed disappointment over the lack of efforts from the Canadian government.

"We can do both," she said. "It isn't a question of, 'We need to do everything we can to release Michael,’ or, 'We protect Canadians in the future.' Both have to be on the table, and the government has a responsibility to do both," she said.

While she is disappointed by Trudeau, she expressed relief that finally after so long there is at least an open debate on this matter, instead of the matter staying behind closed doors.
