    I'm sorry what?! I'm no "sheeple" that just believes everything I hear, but did he legit just say that the only reason the US is anti-Huawei is because the US is "just worried that their products and services are too competitive".....? There are _tons_ of foreign products in the US that are at the top of their markets, and nobody bats and eye. To say there's 0 reason to be even a tiny bit suspicious of Huawei is ridiculous. Even the fact that it is Chinese doesn't make sense, because so is 75% of the rest of the stuff in the US lol.

    I really appreciate your goals and focus yet unfortunately God isn't going to allow such a result that you desire. I couldn't understand why my journey has been the way it has been over the past 6 years yet I have been working on a formula and it appears the system that I have developing is what you have been asking for. Yet ultimately it is denied by God. Sorry my man. I guess certain things asked is not to be received. Peace
