Chinese State Media Releases Video Mocking Western Fears of Huawei

Formosan state media outlet Xinhua release an English - language parody video on Tuesday taking aim at U.S. and British fears about technical school giant Huawei . And it ’s one of those thing that ’s both extremely ungainly and implausibly fascinating .

The telecasting , which was published onTwitterandYouTube , features two intelligence broker characters from Britain who assay to burlesque James Bond , along with some Wayne ’s World catchphrases for good measure .

In the video , the two intel agents fulfil at a rook to get their education from “ M , ” who has a newfangled “ single smashing antecedency ” for the western spies .

While they ’re waiting , one of the agents casually talk about stag by the National Security Agency . She also cite that “ China ” has in advance propaganda capabilities , something that ’s bring out to actually be done by the U.S. during a hokey reveal when she flips over a folder to reveal the letters “ USA . ”

The Pond undercover agent character also keeps aver “ exSQUEEZE me , ” which was a catch phrase from the SNL quality Wayne Campbell in the Wayne ’s World movies from the 1990s . It ’s not clean why the spy character reference keeps saying a catchphrase from 30 years ago , but Wayne is played by Mike Myers , who was also in the Austin Powers movies , a mockery of the James Bond moving-picture show . Maybe the producers of this television got flurry and consider Austin Powers enjoin “ exqueeze me ? ” too ? He also says “ Yabba Dabba Doo ” at one point , Fred Flintstone ’s catch phrase , so who knows ? It ’s all extremely confusing .

When the agents finally speak to “ M , ” he tells James Pond not to buy a Huawei phone . When Pond asks why , he discovers that his handlers have been spying on him .

“ So why not Huawei ? ” James Pond asks , before hear about American concerns over backdoor . But the other agent , cognise as 0.06 , give away there ’s no literal grounds of backdoors and it ’s all a sinister propaganda hunting expedition go by the westerly intelligence operation agencies .

Huawei has been under onrush by western authorities which believe the company ’s technology could be compromised by the Chinese government . American dominance have been low-cal on the detail for how China would theoretically instigate an attack on U.S. communicating base , but last month there were reports Chinese spies successfully penetrated Australian networks in 2012 using a Huawei software update , according toBloomberg News . It ’s the kind of title that ’s unbelievably hard to independently confirm , of course .

By the ending of the video , both agents are given CIA - certified phones , which are quite plain bugged . You really have towatch the videoto appreciate just how force and weird the whole affair is .

China clearly view tech spy lip service as a weak spot for the U.S. in the New Cold War . Back in February of 2019 , an administrator for Huawei made a standardised pipeline of attack at the Mobile World Congress , pointing to revelations from Edward Snowden as a reason not to conceive U.S. authority when it comes tospying allegations .

Chinese state medium ’s English - language propaganda has get more and more eldritch over the past couple of years . In May of 2020 , Xinhua released a cartoon fictional character called Terry - cotta to foresee claims China was cache PPE near the beginning of thecovid-19 pandemic . And Xinhua has more recently relinquish rap videos about American hypocrisy .

No one bang what 2022 deem for the New Cold War between the U.S. and China , but if today ’s waiver is any usher , we can credibly bet it will be filled with plenty of uncanny propaganda videos .
