The House Intel Committee report cited above is quite specific on evidence. Well worth the read.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoI've seen it before, but I couldn't find any specific evidence. The tenor of the report is generally characterized by the following passage: > Huawei’s failure to provide further detailed information explaining how it is formally regulated, controlled, or otherwise managed by the Chinese government undermines the company’s repeated assertions that it is not inappropriately influenced by the Chinese government. In my book, that translates roughly to, "We have no evidence that Huawei is controlled by the Chinese state, but we're going to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt." That's typical of the US government's approach towards Huawei so far. They refuse to provide evidence of backdoors, but keep insisting they're there.
- thoughtstheseus 7y agoJust go to any random page in the report for evidence.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoThat's easy to say, but having read through the parts of the report that address whether Huawei is controlled by the Chinese government, I haven't seen any evidence. Above, I quoted a typical passage to you. You can see that it doesn't present evidence. At this point, if there is evidence in the report, it would be easiest if you would to cite it.
- thoughtstheseus 7y agoAnyone who is interested in learning about this should just go check out the report for themselves. Your selected quote is a bit odd, Huawei can’t explain how it is regulated?
- DiogenesKynikos 7y ago> Anyone who is interested in learning about this should just go check out the report for themselves. Indeed. It is telling, however, that you keep saying the report is full of evidence on every page, but won't actually mention any piece of evidence. I find that very typical of the political campaign against Huawei in the US.

- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoAccording to the US House of Representatives, Huawei did not provide further information on request. They have publicly addressed the question of their ownership, however: https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-leaders-and-founders/article/3007863/who-controls-huawei-chinese-telecom-leaders https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-leaders-and-founders/article/.... Again, you haven't provided any evidence, despite saying that there's evidence on every page of the report. That speaks for itself.
- thoughtstheseus 7y agoHuawei can’t explain how it is regulated? It is a basic question about its interaction with the government.
