Chinese tech firm Huawei says it plans to sue the U.S. government over the latest attempt to blacklist the company from the American market over security concerns
Huawei said in a statement Thursday morning in China that the FCC’s order was unlawful because it violated Huawei’s right to due process and was based on arbitrary findings.
The order was based on “unsound, unreliable, and inadmissible accusations and innuendo, not evidence,” said Glen Nager, a U.S. lawyer who represents Huawei, in a statement. “The designation is simply shameful prejudgment of the worst kind.”In a statement last month as the FCC adopted its order, Chairman Ajit Pai said the commission was acting on the advice of FBI Director Chris Wray and Attorney General Bill Barr.
“We know that hidden ‘backdoors’ to our networks in routers, switches, and other network equipment can allow a hostile adversary to inject viruses and other malware, steal Americans’ private data, spy on U.S. companies, and more,” PaiThe allegations about national security risks are occurring at the same the U.S. and China are locked in a broader dispute over trade and tariffs. A deal on tradeHuawei is already suing the U.S. in another front of the blacklisting fight.
The company’s legal challenge against the FCC would be heard by a federal appeals court based in New Orleans. In addition to making telecom gear, Huawei is the world’s No. 2 maker of smartphones after Samsung and ahead of Apple.
