Actually there were several cases of Huawei backdoors, more recently found by Vodafone in Italy. I am a big fan of China but I think the problem is two fold regarding Huawei. China makes it very hard for foreign companies to enter the Chinese market and they often ignore IP. Having backdoors in networking equipment is a issue and you rightfully point out that the Chinese are not the only ones implementing such things.

What I meant was a case for a "backdoor" rather than the typical "it's a bug" that you see with every other manufacturer.
I didn't want to go into the way China does business. Just wanted to point out the hypocrisy of the justification used here.

Sure but isn't a backdoor a kind of bug that left there on purpose?
