  Make no mistake, Huawei is in fact a security nightmare, and that is true regardless of whether or not corporations (with no government ownership, and are both in fact foreign owned) are going to be opportunistic about it.

    >"Make no mistake, Huawei is in fact a security nightmare," Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean a potential nightmare? Has there been any actual evidence of backdoors?

      You won't get an answer because there hasn't been any evidence at all. People aligned with the US on their trade war tend to just insinuate.

      Backdoors are a moot point. Security is so bad on them that they don’t need a backdoor. Or maybe that is the backdoor. I don’t know if it’s incompetence or plausible deniability. I don’t care to speculate, and am not interested in the politics, all I am saying is, technically speaking, you do not want this shit near your communications.
