A top Huawei executive said Tuesday that the company is willing to sign a "no-spy agreement" with the United States to reassure U.S. leaders who say the company's technology could be used for surveillance.

The offer is similar to proposals the Chinese tech giant has made to the United Kingdom and Germany, and it comes after weeks of intense pressure from the Trump administration.

"We are willing to sign no-spy agreements with countries," said Huawei Chairman Liang Hua at the company's headquarters in Shenzhen, China, when asked specifically if Huawei would sign a "no-spy" agreement with the U.S. "But since the U.S. has not bought from us, is not buying from us, and might not buy from us in the future, I don't know if there is such an opportunity to sign such an agreement."

Liang made the comments while speaking with a small group of U.S. journalists who were visiting with the China-United States Exchange Foundation.

While it would be the first such public offer of an agreement to the United States, Liang stressed the conditions might not exist for such a deal.


Liang accused the U.S. of inappropriate conduct, while at the same time struck a conciliatory tone — a response reflecting the level of exasperation currently felt by the Chinese tech giant.

"It is inappropriate to use political means to disrupt an industry," he said.

Huawei is one of China's most successful tech companies and has a global footprint. It's one of the world's largest smartphone makers, behind Samsung but ahead Apple for early 2019. It's also one of the leading telecom providers of mobile wireless 5G networks, the infrastructure necessary for a future of driverless cars, smart cities with smart traffic lights, and smart factories.

But the company is facing a growing backlash from Western countries because of concerns over the security of its products. U.S. leaders have said Huawei's networks and phones could be used by the Chinese government and leave users vulnerable to privacy breaches

This culminated last month with the U.S. Commerce Department adding Huawei to its "Entity List," which bars American businesses from selling technology to Huawei without government approval. The Trump administration has delayed the ban from taking full effect until later this summer.

The United States is also pressuring other countries to ban Huawei on security concerns. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Switzerland and the Netherlands on Monday about working with Chinese technology. And President Trump was expected to discuss Huawei during his visit with Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday.

In the meantime, Huawei has resorted to a blitz of media interviews to share the company's view that it's being unfairly used as a pawn in the high-stakes U.S.-China trade talks. Huawei is also aggressively fighting the United States. Last week, the company filed a legal motion in a U.S. court to declare the Trump administration's efforts to ban its equipment as unconstitutional.

only Xi Jinping and communist administration go gree, china cannot do without spying and cheating

America should believe Huawei at its own peril. Huawei is a tool in the hands of China. Just imagine US and China at military war. Is Huawei going to be neutral or be used by China to ease drop on US intelligence?

With this your insinuation, we can conclude that Apple would be used as war tool, if war should break out between China and USA.

People seem to confuse Apple operation in China with Huawei operations in America. They are two different operations. Apple is simply manufacturing phones in China. That’s it.

But Huawei wants to supply the US with cyber equipments and build their 5G network which the US doesn’t want it to happen because US see it as simply a window for Chinese espionage. US just want to build its own network using American companies like at&t and Verizon. Apple is not supplying or building internet networks in China.

[/s] Huawei isn't building anything in USA. Huawei phones have been banned in the USA since time immemorial, just like how Google, twitter and Facebook was banned in China due to their failure to comply with Chinese law.

What Huawei is facing is just witchhunt and bullying from the US

What do you call the activity of a company bidding for 5G network contract? Is that not bidding to build?
Failure to comply with Chinese law? Is sharing your company sensitive information and blueprints a good idea to you? That’s the law google refuse to abide by.

These are some of the Chinese dubious law meant to steal people’s intellectual properties you are talking about below:

1) China uses foreign ownership restrictions, such as joint venture requirements, as well as administrative processes to compel U.S. companies to transfer technology to the People’s Republic.
2) U.S. companies seeking to license technologies to Chinese firms must often transfer key information and processes.

Google host on their servers companies worldwide. So you think companies like Facebook and google that have the mandate to protect your information and information of millions of people and companies on their platform should compromise that in the hands of dubious Chinese government because they want to do business in China? Come on man! I think you should know better.

You won’t understand until some China elements starts stealing information from your Gmail account and Facebook and you wake up to realize that you identify has been compromised: China doesn’t play by the rule.

what Bleep!!
bla bla bla bla bla ........you mean all the noises they have been making is nothing.

nonsense

God bless America.
