Huawei and ZTE have been branded as security threats that can’t be trusted by US Attorney William Barr.
In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Barr noted that Huawei has faced charges on breaching American sanctions on Iran, bank fraud and trade secret theft, while ZTE was also found to have illegally shipped US goods to North Korea and Iran.
He also intimated that perceived links to the Chinese government made the companies a threat to national security.
