Huawei CEO thanks US for 'promoting' its 5G program
Politics
[FOREIGN]
They've been regarding 5G as the technology at the same level of some other military equipment.
5G is not an atmoic bomb.
5G is the latest high speed mobile innovation, promising to multiply wireless internet speeds, and increase coverage.
[FOREIGN] Now we are rolling out five g and soon will welcome six g.
And in the future, I said there will be newer equipment that is suitable for the United States.
But U.S.
intelligence agencies are concerned about Huawei five g growth It is so much faster and it allows such a larger data flow that it significantly enhances the capabilities of an intelligence service to steal data.
Former CIA Acting Director, MIchael Morell.
5G is gonna allow a much larger number of devices to be connected to the Internet.
When you connect more devices, you create more platforms from which an intelligence service can spy from.
The Trump administration has warned his allies that it may reconsider his military relationships with countries that use war way.
We cannot insure the defence of the west.
If our allies grow dependant on the east.
Do you view that as a threat?
First of all, I'd like to thank them because they are great figures.
5G was not known by common people but now these great figures are all talking about 5G.
And we're becoming more influential in getting more contracts.
I sense a little bit of sarcasm there.
[FOREIGN]
Please tell them I'm actaully thanking them for promoting us.
Despite warnings from the Trump administration some of our European allies including Germany and the UK are reportedly considering allowing Huawei to build their high speed infrastructure.
It's technologically advanced.
It's reliable as all get out.
And it's affordable.
Some Americans already rely on Wild Way technology.
This is Scovi.
We're in the middle of nowhwere.
Like Mike Kilgor, who runs a wireless provider servicing more than 11,000 square miles of rural Montana.
We've heard of the security concerns.
We've heard of the allegations of connections to the Chinese government but nobody's ever produced any evidence related to that.
As the Trump administration weighs a ban on all Chinese telecoms in the US, Kilgore is worried his company wouldn't survive leaving his community essentially without service.
A few did not have the ability to dial 911 from the cell phone.
I just can't-- that turns my stomach.
For REM despite all the criticism from the administration, he knows his company's future in America is in the President's hands [FOREIGN]
For President Trump, I think he is a great president because in a very short period of time, he was able to reduce the tax rates.
You speak very highly of President Trump yet, he is likely to issue an executive order banning your company from doing any business in the United States States.
How do you square the two?
[LAUGH] Well, we have never had many sales in the United States but we didn't give up our efforts in this country.
