part of the risk revolves around speculation that Huawei may be engaged in deliberately implementing vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by the Chinese government to conduct mass surveillance on a global scale. Huawei, of course, vehemently denies any assertion that the company poses security threats in any capacity.

But there’s a problem. Years of congressional hearings and “inconclusive” hardware inspections have presented a mixed picture on the threat that Huawei may, or may not pose.
There’s also no public, direct evidence that Huawei is using its equipment to spy on network traffic inside the U.S. or any other country. In any case, Huawei can’t prove a negative, {mathematically impossible for anyone on any subject}
Just as much as the U.S. and Canada might not want to use Huawei or ZTE equipment in their networks for fear of a surprise cyberattack ten years down the line, why should China, Russia, or any other “frenemy” state choose HPE or Cisco technologies? {that’s pure paranoia}

Professor Qing Wang asserts “There is no hard evidence to support this notion, and some of the reasons put forward for this notion are weak.”
Senator Mark Warner says “There is ample evidence to suggest that no major Chinese company is independent of the Chinese government and Communist Party … Allowing Huawei’s inclusion in our 5G infrastructure could seriously jeopardize our national security and put critical supply chains at risk.”
Matthew Brazil, a former US Army intelligence officer and diplomat:
"And so it's likely that Huawei is indeed doing work on behalf of the Chinese Communist intelligence services, however what we lack here is solid evidence that backs up that logical conclusion.
"It would be good if the US government and those who work with it could provide more solid evidence about Huawei's activities," Mr Brazil added.
Despite a long period of lobbying the US has never published any evidence that the company has facilitated the Chinese state's activities which challenge Western security, although such evidence has been published regarding those activities themselves.
