BBC Click covered the issue https://youtu.be/yCzNHi9TBCQ?t=690 onwards. They say Huawei claim to be 18months ahead [12m35] of everyone with 5G, and their interview with UK's intelligence advisor [16m20 onwards] suggested that there's not really a security problem.

They do talk about [17m04+] the possibility of the network being shutdown and the fallout of that, and have a dramatisation.



Research clearly shows that practically undetectable hardware backdoors are not difficult to build. For example: http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/543048/26931843/146401... Anyone who says they're confident there aren't any can't be trusted.


It's not current security issues they're worried about it's future potential security problems at the point where we are utterly reliant on Huawei.

Nonetheless the NSA is trying to pretend that Huawei is currently installing backdoors.
