I better prefer to be spied in one place. Let NSA spy on me. I don't want to be spied by different countries. One country spying on me is enough.

      Everything that had quality to it was sent to export while the population barely had any food which was of the lowest quality. We were not allowed to have farm animals (my grandparents were almost killed for protesting when they're animals were taken) .
      Everyone was TERRIFIED they were surveillanced all the time and the general feeling was of being scared.

                      Add the back doors that huawei left intentionally in the kernel to that and you have zero security. You might as well send the PC to them. It's the same thing.

                      Another user asked this: if huawei would have been american, would the chinese gvt let them install 5G equipment in their country? The answer is DEFINITELY NOT! Then why should USA allow them??

                        Huh, yeah China, Huawei, but all are silent for more serious things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine also AMD, Qualcomm...all US companies doing terrible things, much more serious than any Chinese or any other company elsewhere, and thats OK, everyone is silent...

                          Those vulnerabilities are only visible because they have access to source code. All products have undisclosed security holes.

                          Google/Microsoft/Apple etc... have holes for years before patching. The latest Intel security issue where you can 'debug' the processor (required admin access).

                                  Let's be honest, China would never allow a foreign firm to build its 5G network within its borders, either.

                                    Again none of the agencies have found any evidence of wrongdoing, they've found that there are vulnerabilities that could be used if the motive was there, the motive is not there for Huawei though, they're a business.
                                    The US government could spy on us using any of our technology, but we trust them not to. The entire thing is based on a lack of trust based on currently, no evidence.

                                      Shui8, 30 Mar 2019Lets see this ban game will last for how long. Cant wait... moreHuawei could not win on court, because the court is in US, and I don't think any judge in US will be brave enough to give victory to Huawei. IMO, Huawei only wants to have a way to unveil some facts to the public which eventually give pressure to US government.
