You should read this wiki in its entirety bef you use it as evidence to support the claim. It cites patent infringements, IP thefts, and then allegations by China's political enemies about the possible backdoors in its equipments. Huawei equipments may have vulnerabilities, but that doesn't constitute evidence that it has malicious intention to spy on its customers. Many Western telecom make unsafe products with different degree of vulnerability. How come they don't raise the same degree of concerns
- atoav 7y agoMany US vendors have been caught implementing backdoors for the NSA. So from a europerspective the questions is: which one do you want to spy on you? Both have very likely interests in doing so and for one we have definitive proof that they did that also towards nations they call “friends”. If the US warns about Huawei it probably does so because that is what the US would do in China’s place.
- CapricornNoble 7y agoYeah, this was the gist of my comments the last time I posted re:Huawei on HN. You can either have the US backdoor your network, or you can have China backdoor your network. Which you chose is based on your risk assessment of which state actor poses the greatest threat to your operations (whether those are business, personal, or even military in nature hardly matters).
- Tsubasachan 7y agoIf Huawei delivers good products for less money I have no doubt many will go with them. Meanwhile US companies can raise their prices thanks to the monopoly the US government just handed them.
- wolco 7y agoI would think a European wouldn't want either and something else will take over that market.
- refurb 7y agoGreat job at side stepping the question! I’ll answer for myself - if I had to choose between a Chinese or US Blackfoot, I’d choose the US every, single, time.
- tekkk 7y agoWell there is evidence that Chinese spied on African Union's members through the servers they installed. Tangential, i know, but would it be that crazy to expect them to do the same if they had full access to a 5G network without fear being caught? Especially with US or EU were the secrets they would be able to gather would be far greater. I mean I trust the Chinese less than US on their espionage standards, yet US still spies on its allies and enemies. https://qz.com/africa/1192493/china-spied-on-african-union-headquarters-for-five-years/ https://qz.com/africa/1192493/china-spied-on-african-union-h...
