Given the current state of affairs it’s hard not to assume this is just another piece of anti-Huawei propaganda.
It can be true and propaganda simultaneously.

#42With Huawei behaving this way can we trust our electronic devices made in China? Are there devices purely made in South Korea or Taiwan? (Note I don’t say this with some kind of anti-China sentiment, I’m pretty sure I’d be worried about the NSA back-dooring everything too if it was made in the US).
This is different. Consultancy is about trying to sell for the lowest bid by stealing as many partners tech as you can

#43Seems fitting. With Pakistan backing the Taliban I hooe that this information is an leaked and made public. A nuclear power with a chatotic-evil government is backing religious extremists who are taking over Afghanistan, again and are violently forcing extremist wahhabi on the people. Imagine what will happen when the taliban takes over Pakistan. The more leaks the better.
How is such a vitriolic comment allowed on HackerNews?
Nuance is difficult to attain when talking about people living 12 timezones away

#44So this company claims they have developed and installed backdoors for Huawei and didn't get paid. Am I reading the same article?
Not backdoors, more like replicated backups. From the article:
""Backdoor" may not be the right term, though it's difficult to be certain without knowing the details of the system's technical architecture. In the complaint, the term is used to describe a duplicate of the PSCA's DES running on servers based in a Huawei facility in Suzhou, China. Whether that copy arises from a covert remote access capability or an overt replication option under indifferent or permissive security policy isn't clear."

Will anyone know?
Only fours days ago, a wee 8 year-old child was formally charged with blasphemy - which carries the death sentence.

Did they make a claim that is not true?

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Pakistan's biggest cellphone provider is China Mobile pakistan's largest cell service provider is Mobilink, owned by an Egyptian company "Orascom", which in turn was bought by dutch based "Veon"
It worth checking numbers again. I felt that Zong has passed the Mobilink by subscriber numbers few years ago, especially with their internet offers as of late.
These numbers, which are dated June 2021, have Zong in third place with 21.96% of the market: https://pta.gov.pk/en/telecom-indicators/7

It could, but experience shows it’s pretty much all FUD - bad stuff about China that is true doesn’t need propaganda, because it’s being picked up by everyone anyway. It’s pretty much the exact opposite of what happens with US-based companies, where the backdoors have been actually found, not just alleged, yet many people still consider them more secure than non-US counterparts.

#50I along with my team was part of this project, the Lahore SafeCity project, working closely with BES to deliver the required technology. I had a lead role in most of the projects and was familiar with all of their workings to a good extent. I clearly remember going to give a demo of one the systems and at the end of it the British Consultant belonging to ARUP consulting firm told the Huawei software team in a passing…
So how is it different from the usual behaviour of any large corporation?
