Huawei, the Chinese tech giant that’s accused of spying and violating sanctions against Iran, has decided to file a lawsuit against the U.S. government.
In the wake of the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer, the complaint would be laughable if the stakes weren’t so high. But the stakes are very high.
Serious Threat to Users
Huawei is leading the 5G deployment for much of the world, and wants to
lead it in the United States as well. What’s more, it is suspected that the world’s largest maker of telecommunications equipment has or could have installed spyware in hardware systems they’ve supplied for use in U.S. infrastructure, including communications, power grids, nuclear plants, and air traffic control, among
others.
