Huawei sues the US government

Huawei has again filed a lawsuit against the US government, this time fighting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its decision to declare the company a national security threat.

Huawei seeks a review on the grounds that the decision is outside the scope of the FCC, violates federal law and the Constitution, and the charges are not supported by any evidence.

Huawei also said in a complaint that such a definition of the company (a threat to national security) could negatively affect the financial interests of the telecommunications industry as a whole. Previously, the FCC designated Huawei and ZTE as national security threats, as a result of which US carriers can no longer buy equipment or services from these Chinese companies.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said there was “overwhelming evidence” that both Huawei and ZTE had close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese military apparatus.

Huawei has also sued the US Department of Commerce added, accusing the latter of acting unconstitutionally, adding Huawei to a list of organizations that can only be dealt with with a government-approved license.
