WHY HUAWEI MATTERS
BR> 
The US points to Mr Ren's military background and its growing global role to argue it represents a risk to national security.
In principle, controlling the technology that sits at the heart of vital communications networks gives Huawei the capacity to conduct espionage or disrupt communications during any future dispute, particularly as more things, from autonomous vehicles to domestic appliances, become connected to the internet.
Countries using Huawei equipment monitor such risks carefully.
BR> We quit giving them all our tech and they never have another tech advance.
It’s all our work given to them.
I remember when the USMC was publicly pissed at Obama for giving away 5G tech to the Chinese because that was the same tech that the USMC had used for their lateral unit comms for distributed operations.
By China’s own law Huawei (and other tech co.’s) is required to report to the Chinese government any security information it has learned.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, China is not our friend and will screw us over every chance they get.
Yep, a security risk ...
Is Facebook? Is Google?
Huawei 5G Technology: Should we be worried about the Chinese tech giant?

No, by all means lets allow this company founded by a “former” PLA officer (now a Party member), developed by the PLA. Owned by the employees? Huawei must be the only company in mainland China not owned by the government. It grows because it is massively subsidized by the Party and because a relatively cheap product like this is set to takeover the entire world’s communication grid. China would never listen in to any private or military communications, right?
What could go wrong?
All Chinese multinationals have deep connections to the Chinese military.
YES!!! This gear is made to surreptitiously report ALL transactions and data back to China. It is built for 2 reasons, to make $s and take over the market and 2, to supply information back to the People’s army. Even if I didn’t know how their system works all you have to do is see who the Huawei leadership hang around with.
