Andy Purdy says the U.S. government should implement risk mitigation programs for Huawei like it does for Nokia and Ericsson.
Other nations, like Germany and the United Kingdom, are taking those steps so Huawei can do business there, he said.and lawmakers on Capitol Hill have expressed concerns that if Huawei were to get a foothold in U.S. markets for smartphones and next-generation 5G wireless networks, the communist Chinese government could use Huawei equipment for spying.
Such claims are baseless, said Purdy — stressing that while in China, Huawei is a privately owned company., who said, without providing evidence, that "Huawei embeds that spyware into these networks; these chips are so small you cannot detect them until they begin to transmit to an outside receptor. At that point, they are into your network and they are spying on you."However, he did say that national security threats from bad actors are real.
