> I also think that writing off the concern as "vague accusations" misses the point. As the current top comment points out[0], it's nearly impossible to verify what a device is doing. This is not an excuse to make accusations without any evidence. At some point, the people making these accusations have a responsibility to either show evidence for their claims or to stop making them. Huawei chips are installed all over the place, and foreign governments (namely, the US and its allies) are intensely interested in what Huawei is doing. We even know from Snowden that the NSA hacked into Huawei's internal networks and read sensitive communications between executives.[1] If Huawei is actually surreptitiously intercepting and sending foreign communications back to China, there should be evidence of that. Just saying that anything is hypothetically possible doesn't cut it. 1. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-security-china-nsa-idUSBREA2L0PD20140322 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-security-china-nsa-id...
