^ it is about trade war, and the chinese silk road.
Huawei has been open to foreign probes, visits and has explained all, they claim that there is no involvement by the chinese government, and up to now there is no other evidence.
Clear that you can of course intercept and read eMails and chats and digital signals, but the underlying code and protocol of the technical 5G net is not so complicated that it cannot be seen through.

As far as german specialists are involved, there is no backdoor or digital spy. Of course encrypted signals can be deciphered given computing power and time, but 5G itself, meaning the hardware and the protocol, is open for everyone to look at. The problem begins when you direct encrypted data through it, but the current hubbub is as if you say that electrical powerlines alone are spying on you.

After reading a lot of technical stuff about 5G i also wonder where the evidence is, of 'backdoors' or spyware. As far as i know the first claim has been properly debunked. As said before, anything can be intercepted, no encryption will be safe if the leading secret services get their hands on it.

"It is hard to imagine that unnoticed in this way, all data that goes through a network, could be forwarded to unauthorized persons. The corresponding data volume would be enormous and correspondingly conspicuous. More plausible is the risk that data can be filtered via the remote maintenance access, for example by data type, sender or recipient; the corresponding amounts of data would probably not attract attention in large networks.

In this way, one could actually engage in political or economic espionage.

In fact, it was the concern of that very kind of espionage that led the federal government, after the Snowden revelations, to stop using products from the US company Verizon on the government and federal government network."


"The supreme irony of what is being claimed is that while the U.S. government is warning all the world to avoid using Chinese-made phones, especially those made by Huawei and ZTE, the NSA was caught implanting backdoor software in Huawei servers with a goal of spying on Huawei and its customers."
