I don't get all the controversy over Huawei code having backdoors. Has anyone *looked*? I have. It's a humongous pile of buggy NIH. It doesn't *need* backdoors. It's guaranteed to have exploitable bugs. The Chinese govt just needs the source to find them faster than adversaries.
Huawei isn't deliberately ruining anything. They just have (very) buggy software. You don't need "motive" to write poor software, you just need to be cheap and have poor development practices. Bottom line, Huawei stuff is dangerous because it is *poor quality*, not backdoors.

Stephen Harper: during a visit to China 2012, then PM Stephen Harper said he was “honoured” to have witnessed the signing of large contracts for Huawei to provide Telus and Bell with the latest LTE high-speed wireless networks across Canada. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/chinese-firm-s-canadian-contracts-raise-security-fears-1.115728 …

Call me when Stephen Harper is an engineer who has worked with and audited Huawei devices.

I heated the opposite. Huawei 5G is more advanced and very fast. It will put Canada at a competitive advantage over the US. Canada should build it’s own independent network connected to the internet via a new arctic fibre running through the North West Passage.

Huawei stuff is buggy *precisely* because it's advanced without the engineering quality to back it. Yes they make cheap stuff that supports leading edge technologies. It just happens to be buggy and insecure. Is having a vulnerable "advanced and fast" network worth it?
