            No japanese buy any Huawei phone.
            For them, it's just a chinese crap which not worth to put a life on risk with these ones.

              Whether this is propaganda or not, Huawei can't just sit aside and hope all will go away. Things can pretty much get ugly from here

                Japan, UK, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand are all US's lap-dogs, what do you expect, like they can even say no. Each of these countries have US military bases on their soil, and their military defense structures highly depends on US.

                  Huawei and ZTE needs to show the world that they are no threat and how US is trying to bring them down because of their growth. I bet none of the country think Huawei and ZTE as threat, they are just banning them becuase US asked them to do so. People are really stupid in this day and age. God's must be laughing on this stupidity.

                    It has nothing to do with spying... it's all about USA panicking over Huawei's market growth, and the world not wanting to buy their own Cisco and Juniper spying equipment.

                    America only has accusations, but no proof. None. At the same time it's been repeatedly proven that Cisco and Juniper equipment is backdoored... what a joke.

                    And it's sad that a few countries now sit down like good lap-dogs when America tells them to.

                      we hope all US and A allies do same,Huawei is so naive thought that White Americans have No idea what they tried thing to do in US and A land.

                        Through the Five Eyes gang, it was easy to start the propaganda.

                          I think Japan ditching Huawei & ZTE is good for them since Japan is one of the country with advanced technology and can make their own equipment. They still have Sony, Sharp, & Toshiba to make their own equipments. Since China only let's citizens use Baidu, Weibo, QQ, & WeChat probably everyone is heavily monitored by the chinese government while the rest of the world can freely use Google, Gmail, Yahoo, Skype, Facebook, & etc. As for smartphone brand, before I think BlackBerry is the most secured since even previous US presidents use it. But now known brands like BlackBerry & Alcatel (now owned by TCL) and Motorola (now owned by Lenovo).

                                    It's Ok when US is spying but not when it's China.

                                    As history have shown the US bans or goes to war with these countries that wont give them the best deal in anything.

                                      All of these countries would not be pulling away from Huawei and ZTE without conclusive proof, just because it hasn't been made public doesn't mean it does not exist.

                                      Chinese companies are not independent entities, they are directly tied to and in league with the Chinese government... that is a fact.

                                        Still no proof.
                                        But we have proof Facebook, Google etc. spying, we dint ban them... Hmmm stupid world, blindfolded allied just follow the most hypocritical country in the whole world... Ban US and this fake news clown president instead.
