Re: Meanwhile watching carefully ....

"In this case Huawei are right that US can't ban specifically their products only, without any more specific reason than "they're Chinese". If NSA etc have proof of pwnage or attempted such, they should demonstrate. Otherwise it's just trumpian hot air"

Except here's the proof:

1) Huawei is Chinese.

2) There is a Chinese law that says Huawei has to backdoor its stuff if China wants.

3) Proved that it is a risk.

Whether the Chinese government has invoked the law is irrelevant; Huawei, and every other Chinese company, became a security risk as soon as it looked plausible that China would do such a thing. passing an explicit law saying they can definitely makes it plausible.
