In the past we (mostly I) have complained of the Gov't lack of undermining of cyber security, and all things tech. Online attacks over the last decade have been plentiful, so it seems they're being really cautious to an extreme, even hurting consumer's options. But I can't blame them because: (A) In China large corporations and gov't are always extra friendly. (B) Cyber espionage and cyber attacks from China are not uncommon. (C) The US is not ready to protect their 'cyber' infrastructure. Hopefully other HN's can see the following problem too: Huawei placing billions of dollars of communications infrastructure yet hoping they won't be able to monitor them, AND that whatever can be monitored is in no way available to the Huawei Chinese offices, which may or may not grant access the Chinese gov't to take a peek. This is over speculation and unlikely, but if I'm in charge of a security committee you have to assume this is possible and look into it.
