As Australia, the USA, Germany and others have banned Huawei from deploying 5G over concerns, I will continue to be concerned anytime their name comes up.
Judgement, tact, and caution are required.
Huawei's main business is just that - a business. The vulnerabilities that may be intentional are a result of the political environment they operate in, just as NSA backdoors supplied by Intel in the past are a result of their political environment, and makes me cautious about trusting without verifying large scale US tech companies.
> Huawei regularly figures in the largest contributors to the Linux kernel.
I'm afraid I can't verify this statement. They do have plenty of contributions are HiSilicon... But I can't verify that they are one of the largest contributors, in fact their contributions seem dwarfed next to many others.
