Big sales growth nothing to do with NSA fears - Huawei top brass

Opposite conclusion ..

"sales in EMEA rose 20 per cent to ¥101bn (£10.4bn). Huawei's overall group revenue hit ¥288.2bn (£31.4bn) for the year – up 20.6 per cent from 2013"

So sales in EMEA were actually down by 0.6% relative to total sales?

"We can promise Huawei has never and will never do anything to harm our customers or partners.”

Notwithstanding OBAMA'S anti-Huawei sales trip a year or so ago, Huawei has prevailed and proven the man wrong. Dead wrong.

Australia, ever the USA's brown-noser, forswore the use of Chinese hardware - Britain seems confused, harking after the US policy yet letting Huawei open cybersecurity testing centre in UK partnering with CESG, which is a part of government intelligence agency GCHQ.

It appears on many fronts China is outpacing the USA - which makes accommodating NSA's desires to break product security short-sighted at best.

Back in BeiJing Intel and Huawei are partnering a new WiMAX Interoperability Testing laboratory.

Good for Huawei!

I don't think China is doing much more espionage than other countries are not doing...

But that's not exactly a vote of confidence. From a security standpoint, I would not trust Huawei gear any more than any other networking/telecoms equipment maker.

Show me the backdoor !

Given what we know about the spying on companies carried out by the NSA - and other US «[un]intelligence agencies» - for the commercial benefit of competitors headquartered in the US, any claims from these agencies that a certain foreign company builds backdoors in its equipment which relay information to the spy agencies of its home country should be taken cum grano salis and regarded as the thief-crying-thief manoeuvres they so obviously are. Those who believe that, e g, Cisco kit is less likely to contain backdoors than Huawei counterparts are naive or disingenuous....
