Anonymous, 28 Nov 2018I agree . But it is weird that this happens only to huaw... moreI guess, because others Chinese OEMs (like Xiaomi, Oppo, vivo, Lenovo..) does not have tehnology and equipment for 5G network. Just Huawei and ZTE.

    john, 28 Nov 2018wow! a lot a countries dont want nothing to do with huawei,... moreBut they sale today more phones worldwide than mighty Apple, if Mate series is on US market, iPhone will fall even more, not just world wide like they did, but in US also, just look at Samsung flagships in US. NZ and AU just folow US like puppy, same case was with Note 7 and airports..
    Why they need 5g, from Nokia US wont get 5g, from Ericsson.. No way.
    Make America great again and made own 5g, and give it to AU and NZ because we are in 21 st

      Nothing to do with security concern. China is rising and westerner, mostly english speaking country, doesn't like it.

            RS, 28 Nov 2018I can't believe these countries are allowing themselves to ... moreThe US is even more dependent on China then NZ and AU... Where do you think they source all their tech from? For example; does Apple ring a bell? Does Cisco ring a bell? Just because something is "designed in California or New York" doesn't mean anything... Almost everything is manufactured in China and the US relies on them so much hence that's why you see "Made in China" on almost all things everywhere.

              Anonymous, 28 Nov 2018Yes, as if New Zealand is of any interest to anybody....New Zealand is a nice country but that .co.nz in website addresses is just stupid and time-consuming to type just like the UK's .co.uk...

                obviously another move to discourage and to brake the momentum of chinese giant competing the market, since every cupertino and korean phone is 90 percent chinese, and now a local manufacturer with matching tech and quality at better prices, ofcourse theres gonna be lot of pressure and dirty business politics to ensure the future of these old players.

                  Anonymous, 28 Nov 2018Then they have the right to monitor those cell tower. never... moreNo government has the right to monitor cell towers as cell towers are private companies' property but they do it anyway because carriers (mobile networks) love spreading their legs wide open and "we", "gray people" can't do anything about it or we'll "mysteriously disappear" if we actually do something...

                              I'm glad they did. I wish the Philippine government could do that too.

                                      New Zealand is just licking US's bottom to remain on their good side and gain their favor. Nothing unexpected happening here.

                                        greed and politics...5G is big business and money have more value than people character...nothing to do with "spying" and such propaganda crap for weak-minded folks.
