Germany's IT watchdog has expressed skepticism about calls for a boycott of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, saying it has seen no evidence the firm could use its equipment to spy for Beijing, news weekly Spiegel reported. "For such serious decisions like a ban, you need proof," the head of Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Arne Schoenbohm, told Spiegel, adding that his agency had no such evidence. The U.S. has been pressuring German authorities for months to drop Huawei, according to people familiar with the matter, but the Germans have asked for more specific evidence to demonstrate the security threat. German authorities and telecom executives have yet to turn up any evidence of security problems with Chinese equipment vendors, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Separately, at a (secret lobster-themed) meeting in Canada in July 2018, espionage chiefs from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S. -- all signatories to a treaty on signals intelligence, and often referred to as the "Five Eyes" -- agreed to do their best to contain the global growth of Chinese telecom (vendor) Huawei, the Australian Financial Review reported (paywalled). On the other hand, documents leaked by WikiLeaks and Snowden claimed that the NSA, the leader of the Five Eyes, tapped German Chancellery for decades and bugged routers made by Cisco, the leading American networking equipment vendor.
I don't know why sinoboos are rejoicing? China would never do anything this civilized they would just kill every Canadian person in their country at the moment and call it a day...

The only real surprising thing here is not that USA are cartoon tier villains, but that all anglos without exception are the same.

I would believe the us over virtually any other country, when it comes to identifying national security threats

Mason Ward
>Numerous security analysis firms in the UK and Germany find nothing to prove that Huawei has anything inside it's hardware >Agencies that were proven to be spying on Germany using US hardware tell Germany that Huawei bad despite having literally no evidence at all to support third claim Really makes you think.

Find nothing.... >The CEO and founder of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, joined the Communist Party in 1978. He was also a high ranking member in the engineer corps for China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). In 2016, numerous Chinese phones, including one branded as “Blu”, were infected with third-party firmware from Shanghai Adups Technology. That software transmitted user data back to Chinese servers. In 2012, a group of former intelligence officers known as the Langley Intelligence Group Network (LIGNET) published a surpising report. According to the group, “a sensitive LIGNET source associated with Huawei” reported that Huawei had used an “undisclosed electronic backdoor that allowed it remote access to the company’s equipment without permission.” In 2014, a Huawei engineer was caught hacking a mobile tower in Andhra Pradesh. This compromised the Indian government owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam’s (BSNL) network. A 2015 FBI intelligence report indicated that Huawei had been subsidized by the Chinese government to the tune of $100 billion. This begs the question, what does the Chinese government get in return for that substantial investment?

This isn't even about that. They want to protect america monopoly on high technologies because they want to be able to keep forcing the US domestic laws on the whole world through CAATSA. If Huawei develops its own technologies with its own patents, then nothing will prevent China to freely trade with Iran or Russia. And because all technologies that belong to chinese companies also belong to the State, nothing would prevent them to create companies ex nihilo, so that huawei could be connected to the western world and that new company would be connected to countries the US hate.

Huawei is way more saf to use then any American product. I mean Facebook and google are an entirely other level and the American secret services been bugging Routers and even xboxs for decades.
Like really. Chinese make a phone safe from US ears and suddenly it's pure satanism everyone hates to hate.

Because Germany is not ruled by puppets of jewSA like this shithole. Can't wait for next elections.

>to the tune of $100 billion we're supposed to believe this? and Huawei is the leading semiconducter producer in China so of course the government will subsidize the industry.
Why should be ban a company only because is more successful than amerimuttia? Really makes you think how capitalism is good for America only when serves them right

Do you have a border with China that you are so afraid of it?
Gabriel Powell
I am more afraid of USA than China or Russia
Joshua Ortiz
Look at the belt and road initiative and how the US is trying to counter it with their own large investment campaign. In the end like everything else competition is always good.
Jace Butler
We may have soon if Russia falls XD.
And I agree with his notion. This is why I want Trup and Russia to get closer against China.
Read Fatima prophecies, we're going to have an all-out war with China. Better safe than sorry.
Luis Kelly
Why are europeans such cucks towards China? They seem to be ok with everything they do. Stealing technology etc
>This is why I want Trup and Russia to get closer against China.
Then you are pretty much dumb because it is going to happen at expense of Poland. You must be voter of PiS, i guess
Colton Gray
Is PiS the name of a political party? Seems like it would be easy to make fun of.

Huawei should be banned from operating in Western countries altogether, not just from working with Western governments. Anything else is submission to Beijing.
They're so desperate to distance themselves from the United States that they're happy to align with any tin-pot dictatorship so long as the U.S. is against it.
Brayden Morales
It's a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing.

Hollywood has happily submitted to them for years. There’s no real hope.
