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."

Yes, China has a different approach to "Intellectual Property". To China you can't be a selfish person and keep progress to yourself for capital gains. Commons is greater. That being said I was under the impression that the boycott was based on security considerations, which is not yet based on evidence. Having a boycott on Chinese companies (in general) for fear of "theft" of knowledge would make more sense.
