    How long before other governments start blocking Chinese vendors from public procurement.

    Makes you wonder if we're going to enter into an era of paranoia. Would love to know how many Irish institutions are running the cheapest tendered equipment? :P

    The US govt. has long had a similar policy, a big selling point for many of the companies listed in the article (when pitching to US companies) is that approval level. I used to work at an ISP over there and was involved in a number of audits of hardware sourcing driven by the govt., basically to see how far potential penetration of hardware from coldy hostile govt.s was in the sector.
