“PRISM, PRISM, on the wall, who is the most trustworthy of them all?” Guo said, in a reference to a U.S. data gathering program. Under the PRISM program, the NSA, pursuant to secret court orders, collects intelligence about foreign threats through U.S. Internet companies. The United States government has also dispatched a delegation to lobby its case that Huawei gear should not be used.

Huawei has not and we will never plant backdoors and we will never allow anyone to do so in our equipment.”
