I understand the concerns here given the track record of the Chinese government. But, there is (AFAIK) not a single proof of a backdoor currently installed on Huawei telco equipment. Whereas there is a huge number of security bugs, hardcoded passwords (looking at you, Cisco), dubious certs and other nastiness discovered in equipment of other manufacturers. .
So really, given the amount of auditing that has been done on Huawei equipment recently, we could almost say that their equipment can be trusted more than that of other manufacturers.

In virtually all categories we studied, we found Huawei devices to be less secure than comparable devices from other vendors https://www.scmagazine.com/home/security-news/vulnerabilities/huawei-products-riddled-with-backdoors-zero-days-and-critical-vulnerabilities/ https://www.scmagazine.com/home/security-news/vulnerabilitie...
- yorwba 7y agoThat article is based on Finite State's report, who sell static analysis software and are highly incentivized to not check too closely whether everything flagged by their tool is actually a vulnerability. They probably did find a bunch, but not nearly as much as they claim. There was some good discussion on the report 6 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20421148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20421148
