We asked, you told us: Most believe HUAWEI did nothing wrong
July 29, 2025
HUAWEI has had a veryrough two weeks. After being placed on the U.S. Entity List, major companies likeGoogle,Intel,Qualcomm,Arm, and others have stated they will cut ties with HUAWEI if it remained banned by the government.
The company currently has apermit to work with U.S. companies through August, but that could easily expire before America’s government reverses its decision. So wedecided to ask you, do you think HUAWEI deserves its ban? Here’s what you had to say.
Do you think the ban on HUAWEI is fair?
As you can see, over 50 percent of the 7,000 readers who voted inthis week’s pollbelieve that HUAWEI doesn’t deserve its current ban. Taking a look at the comments, it appears that most feel this way because the U.S. has yet to provide any evidence to the public, proving that HUAWEI is a national security threat.
Several commenters shared how they could see why the U.S. government could block HUAWEI from providing5G infrastructuredue to fears of foreign interference, but blocking the entire company is unfair. In their opinions, allowing consumer products such as smartphones and laptops shouldn’t be a problem.
Despite these results, 23 percent of the voters believe that HUAWEI deserves its current ban. According to them, HUAWEI has along history of clashing with foreign nationsand has too strong of ties to the Chinese government.
