Washington Asks Allies to Drop Huawei
The U.S. government has initiated an extraordinary outreach campaign to foreign allies, trying to persuade wireless and internet providers in these countries to avoid telecommunications equipment from China's Huawei Technologies Co., according to people familiar with the situation.
American officials have briefed their government counterparts and telecom executives in friendly countries where Huawei equipment is already in wide use, including Germany, Italy and Japan, about what they see as cybersecurity risks, these people said. The U.S. is also considering increasing financial aid for telecommunications development in countries that shun Chinese-made equipment, some of these people say.

"But this is not about consumer devices - this is about big-ticket telecommunications infrastructure equipment." By another AC above.
Are you just Knee-jerking at Huawei bad Chinese, US government good. These devices are / will be installed and configured by US Telcoms and providers. Of course if you really bothered to look into it you would find that ATT, Version, Sprint, Comcast, Cox etc are all international corporations. Guess that just doesn't fit with your Breitbart, RT, Info Wars programming.
