Huawei Ban The U.K.'s GCHQ spy agency thinks Huawei's equipment should be banned from sensitive parts of the country such as Westminster in London—the nerve center of the British government and civil service. Why? The Chinese company's "shoddy" engineering practices, which were highlighted in a recent report. BBC
Yes, it's the land of the fakes, and so on and on, but we all can learn from that. They will soon become #1 economy cause of that. It's also makes sense. They are now producing basically anything. Quality also comes here within a price. All brands make it there. While in USSR for example was just one good thing for all country in one example and it bites them in the ass cause people wanted more

Who owns Huawei? A report published by two academics has called into question Huawei's ownership structure. Huawei claims the company is 100% employee-owned but the report says the company is actually 1% owned by Ren Zhengfei and 99% owned by a holding group that manages the employees shares. That's not revelatory, Huawei reveals as much in its annual reports, but who controls the holding group is less clear. The report concludes that, at any rate, it is not the employees who are in control. The murkiness of Huawei's corporate structure has fuelled suspicion that the company is state-owned. Journalists have previously suggested the company go public to assuage such fears but Huawei has no plans to do so. New York Times
Huawei's "Backdoor" Vodafone has hit back hard against the Bloomberg piece we mentioned yesterday, which said the telecoms firm found backdoors in the Huawei equipment it was using eight to 10 years ago. The "backdoors" were actually routine mechanisms for diagnostic testing during installation and, while Vodafone made Huawei take them out, they did not risk giving Huawei "unauthorized access to the carrier's fixed-line network in Italy." The Register
How could Vodafone determine that all the "diagnostic testing mechanisms" were taken out? Did Huawei gave Vodafone a blueprint/layout of the circuits of their equipments? I doubt it since the designs are proprietary.

Penny Mordaunt, who was international development secretary, has been appointed in Mr Williamson’s place. The prime minister confronted Mr Williamson with a “credible version of events to explain this leak” from the National Security Council (NSC) meeting. He was unable to answer the questions that this raised, and she sacked him. Information about the Huawei decision appeared in the Daily…
Huawei Leak Remember when British media recently reported Theresa May's cabinet had decided to allow Huawei equipment into the country's 5G networks, despite the protestations of ministers such as Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson? May went ballistic after those cabinet deliberations were leaked, and held an inquiry to find the leaker. The result? Williamson, once seen as a potential future Conservative Party leader, has been fingered as the culprit and sacked from government. He strenuously denies the accusation. BBC
