NYT Columnist Suggests Chinese Communist Party Runs Technology in... Idaho?

‘One of the things I’ve actually suggested is that say to Huawei we are going to let you wire a single state – Idaho say – for a couple of years, and we’ll see how it goes’

The three-time Pulitzer Prize winner advanced the bizarre proposal during an interview with the state-run media outlet China Global Television Network (CGTN):

“One of the things I’ve actually suggested is that say to Huawei we are going to let you wire a single state – Idaho say – for a couple of years, and we’ll see how it goes. We need to build a pathway for Huawei to become what we consider a good international actor.”

“China’s our economic peer. One day it may be our equal. One day it may be our superior for all I know,” he adds.
