If you are not willing to share user data with US government you won't have a future there. Blame Chinese for the things they themselves do. Such an irony.

China phones are cheap compair to the Iphones,so this is clear to me that they will not let Huawei to be sold in America because Iphone sales will decline.This is done to make it the number one smart phone in the US.

If I were Russian, the first thing I would do would be to put an atomic bomb on Donald Trump in his house.
Look at something curious: Big companies, stop selling in the United States: Everything right after Donald Trump was elected.
The worst choice of the American people: They have the taste more brickwork than my BLU D651 when I tried to carry the CM12
276/5000
Let's think one thing: How many lovers of these brands will not be able to acquire phones in large companies like these?
I, like him, have an SIII from AT & T, and I do not get rid of him for anything.
Imagine if it was with Samsung ...
When I was Samsung, I implemented a demand to use it.

And does those guys realize that Huawei and ZTE create network hardware that is used in lots of devices and services, probably including their own internet network in their buildings...
If you afraid of spying just look at Google or facebook. Do small test, make new accounts in different devices than you normally use and search for some specific thing in them for few days, after you login to your normal pc/accounts you realize that Google and Facebook fallowed you there no matter of different accounts. They register every location, address, and even mail/contacts and images.
Why they don't complain about that?

Yet Blu, an American company that sent customer data to China, is apparently trusted?

Anonymous, 14 Feb 2018You know everything you should apply next time as FBI directorI have NO problem admitting I don't know everything about anything. For most of those brands, I had to do a quick Google search. I was actually shocked at how much of the "non-Chinese" companies were tied to China in a MAJOR way.
And that's why I phrased it as a question, not a statement. Which I'm going to re-iterate again. Where does this stop? Why are these two being called out? Who's making the call to single them out? Why just those two?
I'd like to know... that's all.

Comment section is trash. As usual, china-hating indians don't know any better. Not all chinese phones. Lenovo and OnePlus is currently sold in USA as well as Motorola. There are multiple Alcatel phones from various service providers too. Know your stuff before opening your mouths.

well real problem for them is that because they are chinese brands its more complicated for them to spy on them (not impossible of course).
Its much more better for fbi and cia to spy on Apple for example because they dont need to worry some international conflict will happen.
Thats the real reason not that they spy on you infact smarter the phones become its getting easier to obtain your data either by national agency, a person or just an app made by large company for example facebook.

And ZTE? they've had a better foot hold here in the states for a few years. The Axom M (AT&T exclusive?) Z222 and 223 (typically seen with just the CARRIER name on them), plus all the phones they give away or sell thru AT&T, Cricket, T-Mobile and MetroPCS??? They've been part of our lives for year and no one has blamed them until this silly mess.
It sounds like the companies based in the US are finding new paid allies to chase off competition. Who's next? Blackberry because they're made by TCL (Chinese)? Motorola because they're owned by Lenovo (Chinese)? Apple because they're built by Foxconn (Chinese)? Nokia because they're owned by HMD (Chinese)? Samsung and LG because SOME of their phones are built in (you guessed it) CHINA? CAT made by Bullit (Chinese)? Alcatel for also being TCL? One+ because they're BBK (Chinese)?
Where does this ignorance END? Are we going to be forced to pay $3,000 for a generic low end slab from a no name company, just because it's built by an American company in this country?
