Court hears Huawei’s case against the US

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas will today hear oral arguments in a case launched by Chinese telecommunication company Huawei against the US.

The case relates to the US government’s claims that Huawei poses a security threat to the US. The US claims that Huawei could be used by the Chinese government to carry out espionage on foreign nations and has imposed a number of bans on the company as a result. It has also encouraged its allies to do the same.

Huawei strongly denies these claims. Its case will focus on the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, which it believes goes against the Constitution of the United States by singling them out.
