Remind me again how Huawei smartphones in Europe are a threat to US national security

Even if Huawei handsets in Europe are not a threat to national security, most consumers would expect them to be able to run Android, which Google can no longer sell them...

It's a great opportunity for the rest of the world to stop leaning on American companies and American technology. It would be wonderful for a European and/or an Asian alternative to Android to emerge.

I’m definitely interested in more information on this topic. Could you assist with a source or point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I'm not sure it's really worth engaging a throwaway account that is throwing around unsubstantiated "facts". You're just feeding the trolls ;)

Are you giving VC funding for this?

Huawei is closely associated with the Chinese government. The Chinese government threatens democracies and good people everywhere with its concentration camps.

Did Europe forget its concentration camps?

The problem isn’t smartphones right? Bc then we should ban almost all phones. I thought the problem is that basically all the cell networks run on huawei

The Chinese government can order Huawei to do basically whatever it wants, and the former has so far shown no qualms about doing as much espionage, corporate or otherwise, as it can get away with. Infrastructure is one threat, smartphones are another.

> Huawei is closely associated with the Chinese government.

... and Google, Cisco, ... are closely associated with the American government ...

As an European: Well, so does the United States. Turns out that being assholes to each others seems to be a human trait.

In all fairness, I have still to see any tangible evidence of this actually having happened. NSA-Backdoored Cisco Routers, on the other hand, are well-documented.

This is the same organization that editorialized that the very British Stephen Hawking would've died in the British NHS, right?

Take op-eds with grain of salt. Take op-eds from an editorial board with a record of complete idiocy with more than a few grains.
