https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63764450 US bans sale of Huawei, ZTE tech amid security fears The US has banned the sale and import of new communications equipment from five Chinese companies, including Huawei and ZTE, amid concerns over national security. Other companies listed include Hikvision, Dahua and Hytera, which make video surveillance equipment and two-way radio systems. It is the first time US regulators have taken such a move on security grounds. Hikvision said that its products present no security threat to the US. It said the decision "will do nothing to protect US national security, but will do a great deal to make it more harmful and more expensive for US small businesses, local authorities, school districts, and individual consumers to protect themselves, their homes, businesses and property." Huawei and others have previously denied supplying data to the Chinese government. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said its members had voted unanimously on Friday to adopt the new rules. "The FCC is committed to protecting our national security by ensuring that untrustworthy communications equipment is not authorised for use within our borders," the commission's chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement. "These new rules are an important part of our ongoing actions to protect the American people from national security threats involving telecommunications," she added. Because the ban is not retroactive, the firms listed can continue to sell products previously approved for sale in the US. But the FCC said it is seeking comment on future revisions to the rules regarding equipment already authorised to be imported or sold, meaning it is possible existing authorisations could also be revoked in the future. The restrictions in the US are the latest levied against Chinese tech firms following spying concerns, which US officials have become increasingly wary of in recent years. Under Barack Obama's administration, actions designed to limit Chinese telecoms firms' access to the US market first took root. They were then accelerated during the presidency of Donald Trump and have continued under current US President Joe Biden's rule.
I owned a Mate 10 Pro to replace my Blackberry Passport, first big screen phone I had. And bought a Mate X Pro laptop from Microsoft Store. The surface laptop line nowadays is almost identical in design from Mate X series.
If China really wants to spy USA then they only need to deliver faulty technical equipment, which they do in a massive way for many years now.
Mate 60 Pro, don't think we are getting it, and can't be shipped here via eBay. https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/huawei-mate-60-pro-launch However, the most curious aspect of the device is its supposed 5G capability. As reported by Reuters, users online have started noticing the network speeds of the device match that of a phone sporting a 5G chip. This could mean that Huawei has developed its own 5G network chip, potentially working around U.S. restrictions that have kept it from acquiring 5G technology to use in its phones.
The Chinese handset makers should just create their own OS. Samsung has an OS for handsets but they still mainly use Android especially the US/EU models they sell. Huawei has some of the best tech in their handsets especially the ones with Zeiss lenses. Android is a crappy OS and while iOS is very good Apple phones are a ripoff. I only buy used iPhones.
