U.S.: We Have No Evidence Or Credibility On This Whatsoever, But Don‘t Use Huawei Because China Might Spy On You

Even before the NSA scandal broke, I‘ve been endlessly entertained watching the blistering hypocrisy toward Chinese network hardware vendor Huawei. For years Huawei has been accused of being a Chinese spy, even if investigations seem to repeatedly show no actual evidence of Chinese spying. We‘re not talking about superficial inquiries, we‘re talking about eighteen month, in-depth reviews by people with every interest in exposing them. Despite no evidence, every few months or so somebody in the government trots out Huawei as a bogeyman they can toss about for one political reason or another.
