Germany 'considers ban on Huawei' amid global backlash
2019-01-18
[BBC] Germany is considering ways to block Huawei from its next generation mobile phone network, according to reports.

Berlin is exploring stricter security requirements which may prevent Huawei products being used in its 5G network.

Many countries have pushed against the involvement of the Chinese technology firm in their 5G networks over security concerns.

The networks represent the next big wave of mobile infrastructure.

The Chinese company, one of the world's biggest producers of telecoms equipment, has faced resistance from foreign governments over the risk that its technology could be used for espionage.

#3  Huawei has been a bad actor for a long, long time. It's surprising to me that some of these people have taken so long to figure it out. I remember back in the 1990's people at Cisco saying they knew Huawei pirated their router firmware because they recognized the same bugs in it. Face it, to be a good communist, you must be willing to steal and commit murder. Why would anyone expect ethical business practices from such people?

#2  Many companies also ban Huawei products from their networks.
My Huawei phone got 'kicked off' my company's network. When I asked why I was told it was for security concerns. This is at a very large multi-national corporation which does a lot of business in China.
Makes you wonder if there's some fire under all that smoke.
