Banning Any Equipment Maker Won't Make 5G Safer, Huawei Says

Huawei told the FCC banning any network equipment vendor for national security reasons (see 1905150066) will do nothing to make 5G safer. “Not only would a policy of targeting specific vendors be insufficient to address supply chain concerns, it may also cause the United States to violate its international trade obligations,” the Chinese telecom gearmaker said, posted Thursday in docket 18-89. “Huawei cannot and will not sabotage its customer networks. But recent actions by the United States Government are only one step away from doing so.”
