> It's believable that Huawei as awful security and backdoors, but that is just as bad as Cisco
Given “Cisco [has previosuly] revealed parts of [an] independent expert's report produced for [a] case which proved that Huawei had stolen Cisco code and directly copied it into their products,” that wouldn’t be surprising.
At the end of the day, you have a company with strong links (down to its founder) to the military of an adversarial dictatorship and which has been proven to have violated international sanctions with Iran, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela. This isn’t a “beyond reasonable doubt” criminal case. It’s a reasonable weighing of odds determination.
