The US government's intelligence and security agencies-FBI, NSA, CIA and other departments have recommended that nationals and companies in the country not buy Huawei.
According to the official, these companies can exert pressure or control over the infrastructures of the country's telecommunications network. “They gain the ability to make harmful changes or to steal information, which can also lead to espionage ”.
The director of the FBI, Chris Wray, said that "the government was deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any company or entity that is linked to foreign governments to gain positions of power within telecommunications networks ”.
The Fact is that Huawei has never succeeded in the American market due to political restrictions. The company hoped to change that with its latest smartphone, the Mate 10 Pro. The Chinese company had already been prevented from applying for public contracts promoted by the US government in 2014, which caused serious problems for the company in terms of sales in that country.
Huawei in an official statement, vehemently denied the authorities' claims and said that none of its products pose a security risk to its users. In addition, the company claimed to have customers in more than 170 countries and to be considered a trusted name in all of them, taxing statements by the US government's intelligence and security agencies as a direct attempt to prevent the expansion of its business in that country. .
