As it stated in SecurityHuawei says concerns over US research funding are ignorantLawmakers called on Secretary Betsy DeVos to investigate the practice. Now, Reuters reports, Huawei Chairman Eric Xu has called Rubio and Banks "closed-minded and ill-informed." "China is using Huawei to position themselves to steal American research through so-called 'research partnerships' with American universities to exploit the openness of our system of higher education," Rubio said in a statement. Banks said, "Huawei is a state-directed entity that uses academic surveillance to spy and collect intelligence on America and our allies. Further, a bill was proposed earlier this year that would prohibit all government agencies from working with Huawei.

The Chinese company has maintained some of its operations in the US despite numerous business setbacks in the country. Every employee is expected to adhere to applicable laws, regulations, and business ethics in the countries where we operate. These requirements are clearly set out in Huawei's Employee Business Conduct Guidelines as a condition of ongoing employment," said the Huawei statement issued on Monday. Huawei's US staff also prepared a TIP Summit report, including TIP competitors' integration plans, and transferred that information to product teams in China, according to Hong.

as mentioned in Huawei would refuse to hand over data on Australian users to China because complying with such an order would be "completely illegal", its Australian chairman has claimed. He claimed that Chinese national intelligence laws contained safeguards that allow refusal of cooperation where it contradicted "legitimate rights and interests". Lord noted that carriers in Australia have been using Huawei equipment for nearly 15 years "and there has never been any issue that could affect national security". When asked how Huawei Australia would resist an order to hand over Australians' data to the Chinese government, Lord replied it "won't do it because that's completely illegal – not on Australian customers in Australia". "We've set up our company now to retain the Australian data in Australia ... To make sure that data is safe and secure here in Australia," he said.

A senior cyber security chief of Chinese tech giant Huawei has said the company will work with Australia to set up a world-leading internet security centre if it is allowed to build the next 5G wireless network. National security concerns based around Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei's previous links to China's military, along with broader concerns about potential Chinese espionage, have dogged the company's ambitions in Australia. "Huawei is probably the most audited, inspected, reviewed, poked and prodded company in the world — we see that as a good thing", said John Suffolk, a senior vice-president and global cyber security and privacy officer. Before joining Huawei, Mr Suffolk served as the UK's chief information officer, and has been closely involved in setting up a cyber security evaluation centre in Britain to oversee Huawei's involvement in critical infrastructure there. "We don't see similar concerns in other countries other than Australia and America," Mr Suffolk said.
