Both Huawei and ZTE have recently suffered severe pressure from the U.S. government. After the U.S. government banned U.S. technology companies from exporting parts and software to ZTE, according to foreign media reports, the U.S. Department of Defense demanded that it be distributed in the world on the grounds of national security. US military bases and their nearby stores stop selling Huawei and ZTE equipment.
'Huawei and ZTE's equipment or people, information and missions to the Department of Defense create an unacceptable risk.' US Department of Defense spokesman Dave Eastburn said in a statement, 'Based on this, the Department of Defense stores continue to sell to Department of Defense personnel. These devices are unwise.'
In a statement to Huawei’s foreign media maker The Verge, Huawei wrote: “Huawei’s products are sold all over the world in 170 countries and meet the highest standards of security and privacy in every country, including the US. We are committed to All aspects of our work remain open and transparent, and we clarify here that no government requires us to compromise on security or on the integrity of our network or equipment.
