All the security concern about Huawei may actually make its devices more secure in the long run. The heightened scrutiny by various players not only deter Chinese government from conducting blatant hacks, but also expose many conventional vulnerabilities that pose a greater threat for most businesses. For example, UK intelligence agency has a joint testing center with Huawei to vet its source code and hardware design. It's really hard to find this kind of capable and independent party to perform such comprehensive security audit.

- majia 8y agoI didn’t say this is a reason to buy Huawei. I’m suggesting a side effect of security concern is improved security. To make secure software/hardware, it is really valuable to have people of different backgrounds to take a look. This is what many other venders do not have.
