Undercuting? No, we still make profit from our prices.
Rather, ask yourself why your products are so expensive? Maybe it has something to do with your 40% profit margin?

        Notsure, 07 Feb 2019I don't know if China is spying through Huawei, but what I'... moreall the tea damn

          It just boils down to this America vs China thing..

            I don't know if China is spying through Huawei, but what I'm sure of is that the US is spying on everybody and they create chaos and war everywhere, they destroyed a big of the world with their propaganda and wars. Even the Crimea war was American made, they invested into propaganda to include a 90% Russian population area into NATO, an anti-Russia alliance, so naturally Russia had no choice but take it's population back.
            Now the US is at my country's border with missiles aimed at Russia, hoping for an incident so that they can start a proxy war and use our country as a proving ground for their stupid weapons. I hate Russia, but I hate the US more.

              And people saying where is a proof :D Just half of the world are in concerns aboit Huawei spying, definitely just a rumours and nothing to be believed :D ignorence of people are just unbeleivable who defending Huawei

                Want proof that US is spying on its citizen? Take for example the story of Edward Snow and wikileaks. That is proof enough of him being a whistle blower that NSA and CIA are spying on its American people.

                  Actually people think like this we cannot blamed them because chines we can't never trust. Look what they did in other country like the philippines. So it's a good move for those country thinking about their security.

                      Norwegian intelligence is not that intelligent to observe security breach. Its American order from Trump, who has US Bases in Norway and which is US Ally.
                      SO,
                      whatever USA wants them to do, they will do it.
                      remember fake nuclear weapon Iraq invasion and how it ended.
                      Huawei is clever and will get around.
                      Merkel is puppet of Usa.

                        Why is China acting the same towards actual human lives? Apparently 2 Canadian's detained without evidence after Huawei CFO (Meng Wanzhou) was detained at the request of an international agreement about extradition.... (not getting into the details) and now they increased (at random) a life sentence to a death sentence of another Canadian detained for drug related charges. I'm not sure if this happens lots but it's quite the coincidence that this happened after China threatened Canada about 'consequences' if Meng Wanzhou was not released. Or is this acceptable because of the hard facts that we have a Chinese national detained for legitimate reasons?

                          Fearmongering about companies from a certain country isn't appropriate. Something like a complete ban requires hard evidence. There's plenty of allegations directed at Huawei for the last 2-3 months, yet there's still no proof. Just allegations. It's not the 1800s anymore, governments need to be rational and rely on facts, not give in to fear based witchhunting. If Germany bans Huawei, then China could turn around and do the same to German companies. Doing business is a two way street after all.

                            I hope Germany will stay strong for more privacy and consumers. Germany and EU are our last hope against collecting Data, cause leaving in USA, China, Russia etc. means you give full access to their governments to every hidden corner of your private and public life.

                              Why is it so hard to understand that it's not the fact that Huawei makes good or bad or exceptionally cheap phones. Phones are little to nothing about this. The U.S. and MANY other countries have a legitimate reason to believe this poses an issue against national security. Regardless of who does what spying.

                                Dear people US spying everywhere and they are a lot worse than Huawei.
                                They have a datacenters which monitors around 98% of global communications. Talk, SMS, messages and anything else.
                                They saying its in case of terorism to prevents it but who the hell knows for what real purúpose they monitor our daily communication.
                                Huawei is not that bad as US says.
                                They just are afraid that huawei can actualy find something much worse that US gowernment is doing.

                                  Well one thing is quite clear that US is trying to use all means, by hook or by crook to push Chinese company Huawei, based on some supposed allegations of it might provide data to Chinese govt. Whereas by itself using all means of motoring Europeans and others , whether via Google or Apple or the NSA. US is imply afraid of Technological advancement of China. Huawei is just caught in the Power play.

                                      "not just at the Chinese hardware giant, but to all companies who want to work in Germany – security and privacy are key"

                                      That's mean, big manufacturers such as CISCO is definetly OUT, cause they proven had dozen (?) backdoor. They removed it after got found out, but who knows whether they have other thousands backdoor for spares or not ?
