But security experts say the US government is likely exaggerating that threat. GETTY IMAGES The US government is likely exaggerating that threat from Huawei, say some experts. It says it supplies 45 of the world's top 50 phone companies and has contracts with 30 carriers to test so-called fifth-generation, or 5G, wireless technology. Those carriers can't use Chinese equipment to conduct any law enforcement wiretapping. German officials have also indicated they'll reject a blanket Huawei 5G ban.
