Washington claims Huawei’s equipment could allow China to spy on global communications traffic, and is urging allies to shun the company in 5G networks.
Huawei, the world’s biggest supplier of telecommunications networking equipment and number-two smartphone manufacturer, has denied the allegations. They were raised earlier in October during a visit by US Federal Communications Commission Chair Ajit Pai to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, all of which use Huawei equipment.
The company has emerged as a central figure in the worsening China-US trade rivalry,
but it continued to report strong business in the Middle East last month despite US efforts to curtail its growth in the region through trade restrictions and lobbying of governments.
However Albalooshi said US threats to cease intelligence-sharing with nations using Huawei equipment is a concern for the UAE telco.
“Of course, this is definitely a concern… but such a thing is the government’s decision. We follow our government’s roads and we are governed by the regulator,” he said.
