China’s Huawei sues US over federal ban on using its products

Shenzhen, China: Chinese telecom giant Huawei said Thursday it was suing the United States for barring government agencies from buying the telecom company’s equipment and services.

Huawei said the suit was filed in a US District Court in Plano, Texas, challenging a 2019 US defence bill that prevents US government agencies from buying Huawei equipment and services, as well as working with third parties that are Huawei customers.

The lawsuit is Huawei’s latest attempt to fight back against US warnings that the company could serve as a Trojan horse for China’s intelligence services.
