A lot of the issue with Huawei and other manufacturers from foreign
non-allied countries is not whether they are currently configured to
spy, but a lot more to do with if our allied countries begin to sanction
those non-allied countries in the future then they could return the
favour by simply ceasing to support the products we come to depend on.
Secure Telecommunications is still classed as a munition in the US as
far as I'm aware.
There's also the stance that the US requires certain features from this
equipment, e.g. Lawful Intercept[1], which they would rather not be
provided by an organisation that they are actively trying to use the
feature to Intercept communications from. Which brings us back to Ken
Thompson's Turing Award Lecture[2]
