The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the United States is urging allied nations not to use products from Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei. reported. The news was also widely reported in Japan.
Actually, this issue has been discussed for a long time among Western intelligence officials and cyber security officials. The author has also been paying close attention to this news, and has written articles many times in various media.
When I talk to acquaintances in Japan and overseas, many people evaluate Huawei's products as "inexpensive and high-spec equipment." The other day, I visited Taiwan for work, which has a complicated relationship with China. I was impressed by an IT person who said, "There are pros and cons, but the cost performance is undeniable." Even in Japan, I heard from a Japanese TV person who recently purchased a Huawei tablet that the quality is perfect. In fact, looking at the smartphone rankings on Kakaku.com (Kakaku.com) in Japan, Huawei smartphones rank first and tablets rank third (as of November 27).
However, the TV insider says watching the news makes him uneasy. This person, who deals with various information because of his job, was worried about the risk of being exposed to espionage due to cyberattacks by hackers affiliated with the Chinese government. I don't think there are many people who are interested in the same way.
Therefore, I would like to take another look at the details of this Huawei problem. What is the problem? Where are the intentions and real intentions of the United States and other countries trying to eliminate Huawei? And is it really "dangerous" as acquaintances worry about?
