You may recall that, late in 2012, the House Intelligence Committee, led by dishonest NSA defender Rep. Mike Rogers, put out a report claiming that Americans should not use networking equipment made by Huawei, the Chinese networking giant, hinting that the company might be inserting backdoors and spyware into the equipment for the Chinese government. Huawei — which had actually previously publicly asked the US government to investigate it to prove that such claims were false — was not at all pleased about this, claiming that the whole thing was libelous and „utterly lacking in substance.“ A month ago, Huawei suggested that it was going to just ditch the US market because of all of this.

And yet… the recent NSA revelations about its technical capabilities to backdoor various hardware products showed that it‘s actually the NSA which has backdoors in Huawei‘s equipment.
