I'm not sure I understand this article's tone as it relates to China. They make it sound as though the evil US intelligence agencies are hurting US consumers just for funzies.
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that all of Huawei's products are backdoored. It's a state-sponsored company in a country that is known for conducting massive cyber espionage campaigns, stealing IP by the truckload, and bugging the African Union building, for starters. Add on the social credit system and oppression of dissenters, great firewall, etc, and I sure would expect every single Huawei device to have some kind of surveillance path baked in.
- wyattpeak 9y agoI think this article is rather too sympathetic to China, but I don't think its point is as invalid as you're making out. The various agencies have without doubt been probing their phones for years looking for any backdoors, and they would have announced it concretely if they'd found any - it would be too much in America's interest not to. It's starting to feel as though the justifications of the agencies, with all their resources, basically boil down to "They must be, they're evil!"
