Chinese tech giant Huawei has filed a motion in a US court challenging the constitutionality of a law that limits its sales of telecoms equipment, the latest action in an ongoing clash with Washington.

Huawei's chief legal officer Song Liuping said the firm had filed a motion for summary judgment asking the court to rule on whether it is constitutional for the US to implement a military spending provision that bars the government and its contractors from using its equipment.

Mr Song said the "state-sanctioned campaign" against the company will not improve cybersecurity.

"Politicians in the US are using the strength of an entire nation to come after a private company," he said. "This is not normal."

    They want to change the law, then change all charges related to said law to be as though it always was the way it is now. Certainly a difference in direction but it is definitely ex post facto by the definition of the words. The rational anarchist answer is that they still pay, they should have understood and accepted the risk before breaking the law.
