> As someone else further mentioned, the UK has setup an evaluation centre with Huawei where GCHQ experts check Huawei products before deployment. This betrays an incredible lack of foresight.

This is an obvious FUD campaign to slow the rise of a new superpower and of a major competitor in a sensitive industry. You're making this about the US when it doesn't have to be.

I must have missed the Swedish hacking campaign of companies and governments worldwide for the last 10 years...
