Shenzhen, China (CNN Business) Embattled Chinese tech giant Huawei is suing the US government in its most aggressive move yet to fight back against accusations that its technology poses a global security threat. Huawei, the world's biggest maker of telecommunications equipment, said Thursday that it has filed a lawsuit in Texas challenging a recent US law that bans federal agencies from buying its products. "This ban not only is unlawful, but also restricts Huawei from engaging in fair competition, ultimately harming US consumers," Huawei Deputy Chairman Guo Ping said at a news conference at the company's headquarters in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. He accused Congress of acting as "judge, jury and executioner" by imposing the ban. "The US Congress has repeatedly failed to produce any evidence to support its restrictions on Huawei products," Guo said.
