I am not sure, but true or not - I wouldn't feel comfortable having Chinese phone myself right now. I mean, after reading all this.
I did had Huawei, just for a week tho (it's durabillity simply sucked) but I don't plan on owning one again.

"Chinese law requires organizations and citizens to cooperate when the government is conducting espionage"

HMD didn't have the money to buy it that's why it bought Foxconn in.

i look at it this way. while the rest of world. are enjoying superfast data on the mobile. Australia wont be LOL. i feel sorry for Huawei, they are good firm. great products. good innovations, and they cant do whay they do best based stupid accusations. If we all bothered by snooping we should ditch our smart products phones/hubs/tv's go back to the dumb ages.

Dealing with Australian officials is an intelligence disadvantage... the Chinese can only get dumber by working with them.

So Australia has no problem with NSA and their spying through Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon... and every American company that has to comply with USA's spying facilitating laws. Only issue is power should remain with USA and its allies no body else.

Anonymous, 24 Aug 2018What are talking about? Huawei and ZTE hold more patents of... moreHuawei does not follow GPL. The fact someone talked about patents clearly shows they don't even know what GPL is. Same reason why vlc works like crap on Huawe phones is they keep what is on the chip a secret. That violates the GPL of android. It is up to Huawei to follow the rules and they clearly can't. If they have so many patents then they should be happy to show how their chips work just like everyone else does. Even Intel despite its screw ups can follow GPL .

As far as I know, they are only 5 manufacturers capable of making 5G telecommunication equipment: Samsung, Huawei, ZTE, Nokia and Ericsson. To me, banning two of them (and both chinese), looks more like promoting western made equipment. Could be this actually a chinese embargo? However, the Nokia and Ericsson sales went down from 2016 to 2017, and 2018 doesn't look to good...
NOTE: both the article and my comment are not referring to cellphones!
As I saw stated wrong in other comments before, Lenovo, Motorola, Oppo, Meizu, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Essential, Apple, HMD, TCL, Foxconn, etc., etc., are not telecommunication equipment manufacturer (towers). They are terminal devices makers (cellphones/mobiles).
