Abstract: | Summary We show the existence of a block diagonal extensionB of the suspensionS(A) of the reduced groupC
*-algebraA = C

*-norm on the algebraic tensor productB
op
B, butB is not nuclear (even not exact). Thus the class of exactC
*-algebras is not closed under extensions.The existence comes from a new established tensorial duality between the weak expectation property (WEP) of Lance and the local variant (LLP) of the lifting property.We characterize the local lifting property of separable unitalC
*-algebrasA as follows:A has the local lifting property if and only if Ext (S(A)) is a group, whereS(A) is the suspension ofA.If moreoverA is the quotient algebra of aC
*-algebra withWEP (for brevity:A isQWEP) but does not satisfyLLP then there exists a quasidiagonal extensionB of the suspensionS(A) by the compact operators such that on the algebraic tensor productB
op
B there is only oneC
*-norm.The question if everyC
*-algebra isQWEP remains open, but we obtain the following results onQWEP: AC
