TOKYO: Malaysia will continue using Huawei products “as much as possible,” bucking a global trend prompted by security concerns and a US ban on the Chinese firm, the country’s prime minister said Thursday. Mahathir Mohamad, speaking at a conference in Tokyo, acknowledged the security concerns but said they would not deter Malaysia. Mahathir said the United States and “the West” must accept that Asian nations now produce competitive products, and should not “threaten” business rivals. “Yes, I understand Huawei has tremendous advance(s) over American technology even,” he said. At times China will win, other times the US will win,” he said.
