The US has long claimed that Huawei uses its phones and cellular network infrastructure components to spy on behalf of the Chinese government. Huawei stopped inking deals with US carriers as a result, and the government banned the Chinese giant in mid-2019 from working with any company employing American-made technology.
The move crippled Huawei’s ability to compete in the mobile industry in the past few years. On top of that, the US lobbied against the use of 5G equipment made by Huawei, urging allies to look at alternative solutions for the emerging 5G networks. Huawei has long opposed the accusations that it can spy on users with its hardware, pointing to its numerous partnerships with various carriers worldwide.
The topic has resurfaced this week as a new report on Huawei’s spying abilities came to light. The Chinese smartphone vendor may have eavesdropped on a Dutch mobile network’s calls more than a decade ago.
