    This is quite hypocritical act taking into consideration that NZ politics including MPs are quite happy to take money from rich Chinese businessmen connected to mainland China and possibly Chinese government. Also we are (New Zealanders) are quite happy to sell our land to Chinese investors, never asking where the money are came from.

      Trump hate Huawei coz Huawei's don't allow US to spy in their products.

          Well this happens when US doing an advertising campaign against Huawei.
          This way maybe apple will build own 5G network in maybe 10 years but we always can blame US for not cooperating with other mostly chinese brands.

                      These racist comments are the reason why everyone insults GSMArena for being "Pro-American".

                        Beside, the only reason not to choose Nokia Siemens Motorola network is huawei cheaper lol
                        When you have money bye2 cheap stuff

                          X, 29 Nov 2018I guess, because others Chinese OEMs (like Xiaomi, Oppo, vi... morelol.
                          The main business of Huawei and Zte is Networking (network equipment) .
                          They get contracts for both Enterprise & Government projects .(equipment, Data Center etc)

                            The first problem with Huawei is that the Chinese government is said to have unlimited influence over their private companies. You can technically (to a lesser extent) say that about any company - American, Japanese or European as well. The problem is that in the current political climate there seems to be a higher than normal risk that they can weaponize it.
                            Even if the risk is small, its existence becomes a problem. Nobody outside of China has access to the firmware of Huawei devices. Same can be said of Apple or Samsung, but somehow nobody is scared of America or South Korea.

                              Guess which one is able to sell. Africa's countries...

                                as if other countries' manufacturer won't succumb to their own intelligence agencies' request to spy / espionage
                                it's a sign that the West is getting nervous they are losing competitive advantage

                                      I worked on the 4g rollout with 2degrees in NZ and never had an issue with Huawei. Just seems trump is getting his way

                                        Lol.
                                        Once USA acts, others will follow.
