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."

    I've heard about Chinese tech spies for years, if not decades.

    I've been hearing about little green men since the 50s. What's your point?

    The fact of the matter is that China has been stealing technology for decades and they aren't going to stop, if no one stands up to them.

    IP shouldn't be a right in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, corporations been stealing knowledge from the public for centuries and its only the Communists and the Chinese that are standing up to them.

    Sure, the USA may not have the cleanest hands, but we're not disappearing US citizens.

    US citizens been disappeared without lawyer counsel or due process for at-least a good decade since the patriot act.

    There's a whole different power dynamic in a totalitarian regime vs a democracy.

    Indeed there most certainly is. In a totalitarian regime the industrial-military complex does at it likes. In a democracy the people do as they like. Which one do you think you're living in exactly?
