December 05, 2019Huawei has launched a new legal action against the United States, reiterating again that it does not represent a security risk. This time, the Chinese telecommunications giant is contesting the Federal communication commission's ban that has forced mobile service providers in rural areas not to access the $ 8.5 billion government fund to buy equipment manufactured by Huawei.

The Chinese company has asked the Federal Court of Appeal for the Fifth Circuit (which has jurisdiction in the states of Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi) to declare the Fcc order illegal, based on the fact that the call does not offer the necessary protections and unfairly qualifies Huawei as a threat to national security.

According to Huawei, the FCC "does not substantiate its arbitrary allegations with solid evidence, reasoning or analysis", in violation of the United States Constitution, administrative procedure law and other laws. "Preventing a company like Huawei from operating, just because we started our operations in China, does not solve the problem of computer security," said head of law Huawei, at a press conference.

Controversy at the NATO summit
The controversy between the United States and China on the 5G network infrastructure issue also emerged during the NATO summit. On Wednesday, the Chinese representative to the European Union, Zhang Ming, replied to the editorial written two days earlier by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for the Political site, in which the head of US diplomacy still urged to hold Chinese companies out of the development of European 5G networks.

The statements made by Pompeo about Huawei are "far from the truth", Zhang wrote in a letter sent to the same Politician. "Despite the witch hunt and the media alarm, not a single country or individual has provided solid evidence to prove that Huawei poses a security threat," the Chinese diplomat said.
