I'm sure that they're going to find out that some people at Huawei do not wash their hands after going to the toilet. Do you really want your data in those hands?
Do the Snowden documents contain any NSA guidelines on sanitation procedures after taking a leak? If they a rigorous the NSA might be up for an unexpected boost in popularity!
Hard to know from the article, and Bloomberg does not have a good track record, if the 'backdoor' was a vulnerability , an unwanted feature or an actual backdoor. I might imagine a Chinese headline with "US firm Intel backdoors every CPU", which may or may not be true depending on your feelings on Intel ME
I think it is enough to be called a "backdoor".
Huawei seems to be the biggest example and its worrying me because they are starting to strong arm EU allies to follow in their footsteps. Both Germany and the UK have cleared Huawei to take put in 5g rollouts against the USA's wishes.
I'm not sure who to side with here, the company with multiple allegations against it or the country which is known to do exactly the same thing except maybe worse...?
Try not to dismiss this because its not dripping in pro-usa sentiment, i'm interested to hear what people inside the bubble think.
Has anyone else noticed the increased "scrutiny" the US has been putting on Chinese companies recently?

This monopoly had ended and that makes some people uncomfortable.

France has as well, as they said that all suppliers will be treated equally and subject to the same security tests.

The funny thing is that there are many more. Interesting how the EU is dealing with this - most media seems to focus on how badly china could be spying while the US proved they aren't trustworthy long before.
"The story presented no confirmable evidence at all, was vehemently denied by all companies involved, has not been confirmed by a single other publication (despite much effort to do so), and has been largely discredited by one of Bloomberg’s own sources."
"By all appearances “The Big Hack” was complete bullshit. Yet Bloomberg has issued no correction or retraction, and seemingly hopes we’ll all just forget about it. I say we do not just forget about it. Bloomberg’s institutional credibility is severely damaged, and everything they publish should be treated with skepticism until they retract the story or provide evidence that it was true."
Does anyone know what this is about? Both the need to rip out 4G gear if they don't want to use the new 5G stuff, and also the statement about Europe being behind China and the USA?
