I agree totally that there's been a lot of "background noise" that has been anti Chinese, but this move in particular seems to ratchet up the fear a notch and will garner many column inches of press.

It will become a "face" thing for the Chinese - a big loss of face.

The sad part is, there probably are very good grounds for banning Huawei, and in that respect, it's thier less than scrutable conduct elsewhere around the world that has given them a bad reputation. This is where the Chinese mis-read Australia; they see us as being provocative and anti Chinese, but in many case we are actually just re-acting to Chinese actions or activity elsewhere (South Chin Sea, for example).

But then it becomes a very long game of "who started it?"....

(and the SCS action, in particular, is a whole new level of provocation on the world stage, which is why it's such a thorn in the West's side)
