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."

Or American tech spies during our developing years.
It is far more common than most countries would like to admit. the difference is, most countries aren't big enough to do it on the scale China can. The last one that could was the US and it was directly responsible for many advances in American technology and economic prosperity before we started our own IP laws... Just like China is doing now.
If you don't learn from history you will never understand how much IP laws stifle innovation while not providing nearly the benefits claimed.
