> Huawei denies having any ties to the Chinese government beyond those of being a law-abiding taxpayer.

I find it interesting that these kinds of verbal games are continually played out in the public eye despite everyone involved knowing exactly what's going on. And that goes for all APT / nation-state actors.

Australia has effectively banned Huawei since 2012 (NBN participation ban). Therefore, there is plenty of discourse and information from Australia about technology sovereignty.

The article at [1] directly addresses the claim:

> Huawei denies having any ties to the Chinese government beyond those of being a law-abiding taxpayer.

Articles at [2] also provide more in-depth analysis.

The irony here in that Australia just passed laws requiring local vendors to put in backdoors at the governments request, not just for national security but also in regards to "national economic well-being" aka industrial espionage.
