Huawei is attacked from many sides because of its products, but also because of the fact that until now it has not managed to convince some of the major governments of the world that its products are really safe for use. Yesterday, Huawei was the target, together with ZTE, of a ban on delivering 5G equipment for the networks to be activated in Australia by mobile operators, although it supplies equipment for the other networks in the country.
Huawei is considered by the Australians as a danger to the country's national security, because the data transferred through their equipment would also reach the Chinese government, which would find out the country's secrets. They were in the USA banned Huawei products, which stores personal data, in all government institutions in the country, this being the first big blow received by the Chinese in the summer, the Australians sending the second one, and another one could come from the British.
Huawei is ATTACKED because of UNSAFE Products
Huawei responded to yesterday's attack by saying that everything is politically motivated in Australia, which is completely true, the decision being a political one, but probably based on data from the country's intelligence services. Some have said that the USA banned Huawei's communication products to favor Apple, Google, Samsung, etc., but in Australia there are no manufacturers of this kind, so do these two countries have so much hatred against the company, or are there really reasons to fears?
"Australia has banned Huawei Technologies Co Ltd [HWT.UL] from supplying equipment for a 5G mobile network citing national security risks, a move the Chinese telecoms gear maker criticized as being "politically motivated". Huawei says: "Chinese law does not grant government the authority to compel telecommunications firms to install backdoors, listening devices, or engage in any behavior that might compromise the telecommunications equipment of other nations."
Huawei sells most phones to people who have modest incomes, so they don't really care about the data in the phones, so if they are stolen, there's not really anyone to complain about it. Governments, on the other hand, have something to protect, and my opinion is that, at least, the US would not take such a measure without having clear information that the Chinese government would have access to Huawei products and data which are stored, or transferred, through them.
