Huawei is a Chinese business which has grown to become the world’s largest telecommunications equipment vendor.
This equipment is critical to how the internet functions. It occupies every step of the network chain between our laptops and phones through to the data centres hosting the content we want to access.
Although it sells consumer devices such as laptops and phones too, Huawei’s equipment is especially prominent in the parts of the network closer to the data centres, and it’s this equipment which has been raising concerns.
The extensive debate about these concerns branches across a number of topics, from Beijing’s aggressive espionage activities through to the ongoing trade war between China and the United States, something which Huawei argues is actually motivating the actions against the company.
