Won’t someone think about the security?
You may be thinking, “I trust these people saying Huawei and ZTE phones,
services, and infrastructure equipment are a potential security risk.” It’
s a fair point, and inviting trouble wouldn’t be sensible at all. You can
read all about Huawei’s denial of any government involvement and how it’s
privately owned — not by the state — on its site here, but is there any
truth to the accusations?
“All devices have some level of risk, which varies from device to device
and manufacturer to manufacturer”
Andrew Blaich, head of device intelligence at mobile security firm, Lookout,
told Digital Trends there are three factors at play:
“First, speculation fueled by fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Second, insider
knowledge of something known, but the information cannot be revealed at
this time. Third, a general guidance to minimize any possible risk in the
future based on geopolitics or other factors.”
Is there any truth to Huawei hardware having backdoors that would allow
governments to spy in its users? “As of now, there is no publicly available
evidence that this has happened,” he said.

Losing out
Huawei didn’t become the world’s third largest phone maker and the largest
supplier of telecoms equipment by not adapting. It’s conscious of China’s
poor record when it comes to espionage, and it knows it needs to do all it
can to convince governments and companies it’s not a threat.
Its success has come with a limited amount of exposure in the U.S. But it’s
a business, and selling phones and equipment in America means more profit,
and a greater chance to become the world’s number one phone manufacturer —
a repeatedly-stated company goal.

American phone buyers aren’t just missing out on the P20 Pro; but also
Huawei’s investment and expertise in 5G network equipment. The Wall Street
Journal reported Washington is consumed with the idea that China will have
wider 5G connectivity before the U.S., and wants to do nothing to assist in
its technological advancement. It’s a closed-minded approach that may see
consumers suffer once again, and place more control in the hands of
officials and carriers.
The barrier has resulted in Huawei deciding to leave the U.S. to get on
without it for now. Current Huawei CEO Eric Xu said he “couldn’t explain”
what was going on between China and the U.S., and that it was “beyond him.
” Instead, Huawei will focus on the places where it’s already seeing
success. And who can blame it?

Don’t just shrug your shoulders
That’s it. No P20 Pro for you. But if you want one, what can you do? Write
to government representatives. Write to networks. How about going into AT&T,
Verizon, or Best Buy stores and asking for the Huawei P20 Pro? If enough
people tell them, it’ll get back to management. Or, why not import one and
really thumb your nose at the establishment? It’s not a choking hazard, so
customs won’t seize it. Alternatively, you could always not buy a phone
through AT&T or Verizon next time, and choose an unlocked Google Pixel 2
instead.
