Washington DC [US], May 6 (ANI): Michael McCaul, US House Foreign Affairs Committee Lead Republican, and China Task Force Chairman, has praised India s decision to exclude Chinese Communist Party-controlled companies from participating in the country s 5G networks. India s decision to exclude Huawei and ZTE from its 5G trials is good news for the people of India and the world. People s Republic of China law requires any Chinese company - including Huawei and ZTE - to work for the Chinese Communist Party if asked, McCaul said in a statement. It s a risk that can t be mitigated unless these companies are excluded from our networks, and I m glad that India has recognized this threat. India has once again proven why it is a global leader in the fight against security threats posed by CCP-controlled technology, he added.

Google will move to hybrid workweek post-pandemic
“We’ll move to a hybrid work week where most Googlers spend approximately three days in the office and two days wherever they work best,” the company announced through a blog post. The product areas and job function will determine which days of the week the employees will come together in the office. Out of its approximately 140,000 global employees, Google expects 60 percent to be part of this hybrid model. The company also said it will make it easier for employees to switch between offices or to work fully remotely.
