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."

    Very true! Usually the roles are reversed.

    But the government is allowed to "boycott" Huawei. This is a basic procurement thing. Huawei is not entitled to a contract.

    "[half the stuff Trump does]," he said. "This is not normal."

    Ok, someone out there finally said it.

      Nothing to do with "Trump"... His error is the belief that government is more powerful than business.
