huawei says it is illegal. huawei says there is no evidence to substantiate that decision based on claims the company is a national security risk, and so it's asking the court of appeal to overturn that. so two fairly technical examples, quite a lot to explain there. huawei asking the courts for a second time in less than a year to overturn decisions that have targeted the company, targeted the company because parts of the us government believe huawei, believes that huawei is a national security threat. robin, whatever the national security considerations, you do hear people say, don't you, that actually huawei is a pawn in the trade war between the us and china. moving its research operations is quite a big deal, isn't it? we're seeing kind of a strategic move by huawei. but also people, american companies, that sell to huawei, sell part of the components that go into their smartphones, for instance, to try and move some of those manufacturing bases maybe out of china, maybe out of the us, to other countries t

and, briefly, how important are those contracts to huawei? the us market is huge and we have seen huawei suffer in terms of its revenue for this year. as it has had to deal with those bands put in place by the us government on either selling stuff to it or purchasing from it. but the chinese market, 1.4 billion people, remains important particularly for huawei at the moment as it grows its dominance here. let's go to saudi arabia now where the state oil giant aramco is due to announce final details of its share sale to the public. it's expected to price its shares at around 32 riyals or $8.50 each — ahead of their stock market debut in around a week's time. that would make it the biggest ever initial public offering — or ipo — in history. it would give the company a stock market value of over $1.7 trillion, far above the likes of apple and microsoft — which are currently the most valuable companies — worth a mere $1.1 trillion. and the share sale will raise in excess of $25 billion — just beating the record set by chinese e—comm

huawei, decisions that huawei believes are illegal. so we had legal action launched in may which was trying to speed up some kind of decision by the us courts against action by us agencies which, based on cyber security concerns, based on cyber security concerns, based on cyber security concerns, based on the claim that huawei is a national security threat, meant that us agencies couldn't buy kit from huawei. that was in may. today, in the last half—an—hour or so, further legal action by huawei in the united states, you using the us court of appeal, in it which says the decision by the federal communications decision, that is the regulatory body in the us which oversees huawei's action, it says the decision made by the fcc which meant that some mobile phone carriers looking to expand in rural areas of america couldn't use government money, well, the fcc made that decision. huawei says it is illegal. huawei says there is no evidence to substantiate that decision based on claims company as a national security risk, and so it is askin

huawei, the most important issue. the more overriding thing to watch is how is each side framing this the chinese is obviously concerned about the political framing of the deal. that's why they are pushing for tariff roll backs. they want to be seen as getting as good a deal president trump wants to make it clear that is not his intention. >> what is the u.s.'s strategy right now. heading towards a tariff deadline, if you will. a soft one of december 15. how do those talks kind of play out in the early part of 2020? and do we believe president trump when he says he doesn't want to do a deal until before or after the 2020 cycle? >> i would start with your last question absolutely, president trump does have some advantage to holding off from a deal. a full let's get together the minute he signs anything like that, he'll immediately capitulate that he doesn't get enough by the same token, december 15 tariffs may be delayed from that we've seen delay and to make room to negotiate and try and get a better deal. that new de

huawei demonstrates the world of wireless communications. the company uses the facility to flex its 5g muscles. huawei's take on technology is praised by many customers, and it's cheaper than 5g systems from europe or the united states, but many are wary with critics saying the threat for huawei to misuse the technology is real. the concern is that it would pass on the user data to the chinese government. the chairman of the company told deutsche welle the concerns are unfounded. brent: the chairman of huawei says without a lawful request, the company would not engage in spying. did he say what would happen if china makes what it deems to be a lawful request to the company? >> this gets to the gray area of what he deems to be a lawful request. we've had the case of the two canadians who were detained a year ago after huawei's chief financial officer was detained in canada. she is under house arrest there. they've been under arrest in china for a year. they have not seen a lawyer. if that kind of thing can happen, basically, the law is whatev

basically, huawei is fighting back. they're not taking this blacklist they got from the white house in may as well as the fcc ruling and other efforts to remove huawei in the united states, they are not taking it lying down. they are fighting it in the very venues, the courts of the united states where they are being possibly accused of some pretty high crimes like espionage and using backdoors to allow the chinese government to allegedly spy. taylor: you bring up those points. how does the court decide what is or is not a national security threat, as we heard from the lead counsel who said it's up to the president only? stephen: that's right, this is the legal point they are trying to make, and of course, the courts will make these decisions. that's the good thing about the united states. i cannot imagine the same thing happening in the chinese judicial system if the roles were reversed. this is again just a chapter in huawei's efforts to combat the perception at least in western countries that they are providing an op

this tweet from reuters business explains "huawei it's because the us government is concerned huawei could use its position as the world's biggest supplier of telecoms equipment to help china's government to spy. huawei has always denied that. vivienne nunis is in new york for us. good to have you with us. tell us more about this legal action? missed all dates back to the decision made by the federal communications commission last month when it decided that us mobile networks and carriers that operate in remote and rural areas can no longer have access to a pool of federal funding worth a and a half billion dollars a year to provide their services in those areas if they were going to spend that money on huawei equipment. today we've seen huawei trying to launch this legal action to overturn that decision because it says that with the us has done there violates federal law and says u nfa i rly violates federal law and says unfairly paints it as a national security threat. i want to bring our viewers more aspects of this and i will come right back to you. and — this lawsuit — is ju

the us says huawei is a national security threat. huawei says it has never produced any evidence of that. priya lakhani, founder and ceo of century tech, joins me now. good to see you. good to see you. so here we have another legal challenge. back in court. back in court by huawei. these legal challenges are starting to build—up. do you think it will make any difference? well, it has been going on for some time. i think we now know it is all a bit of a political issue. donald trump is really sort of flexing his muscles here with, you know, we are not to be purchasing... well, america is not to be purchasing equipment from these very big, massive chinese companies that are absolutely central to the chinese economy. whether it makes a difference or not, we don't know. what has changed, slightly, is that this is obviously about these rural mobile operators not being allowed to use rural government grants from the services fund to purchase equipment from huawei or zte. and i think huawei have mounted these legal challenges, the ideas p

is a ban on huawei a possibility or a concern in the uk? >> well we have over 62 contracts around the world mostly in europe for 5g. connell: and you expect all of those to continue or to even go up? >> they are recently signed yes and we expect them to continue and we're working closely with the uk government to address their concerns and we have a close working relationship with them, so we hope that we're going to be able to meet the requirements so that we can help make the -- connell: what are the main concerns you hear are the shape as the u.s. that you essentially pose a threat to national security that huawei's technology could be used to spy and we know the story, we heard the allegations here in the u.s. , that the government could come in and say that we need access to this data, same concerns from the uk and how do you answer those concerns when they come up in other countries and how do you essentially prove you're not a threat? >> well the concerns are expressed by the united states government through various governments. the

donald trump while he was in london said huawei isa while he was in london said huawei is a security danger so he has not changed his opinion on it. certainly not. looks like boris is moving towards that, talking on those terms but whether he goes all the way, we don't know yet. although he was quite careful to couch it, because if it goes too far in this direction he risks outraging the chinese.” if it goes too far in this direction he risks outraging the chinese. i do wonder whether this is a story in which it is being pushed that boris is actually doing something, thinking of policy positions in a time where there has been a slight news vacuum because time where there has been a slight news vacuum because of nato, and also in terms of the general election, the london bridge attack also meant election campaigning was stalled. so in some ways i think this might be johnson coming out and saying something for the sake of saying something for the sake of saying something. the tightrope they will be on when trying to do brexit deals. that tightrope becomes increasingly hard. we will h

huawei is ahead of the game. they really are leading the charge from a technology point of view as far as 56 is concerned. but they are the only show in town, there are two major european organisations, nokia and ericsson, who would want to pitch for those contracts. there is a security concern around it, the sg contracts. there is a security concern around it, the 56 is going to be so fast, so powerful that it could replace broadband, for example and could become the default way that data gets shared across the internet, in which case getting that right is really, really important. many would argue against china a lot of control in the future if huawei was to provide lots of infrastructure for 56 in different countries around the world, and that is the real concern, isn't it? yeah exactly. whoever is putting those m, exactly. whoever is putting those in, there is going to be the opportunity for governments to access data. but when it comes to what nokia, ericsson are providing in their attack, how does it compar

said today that she had no knowledge of any pressure from china critics are concerned that huawei is too close to the chinese states and that it might use its technology to spy on foreign countries in an exclusive interview with the w c o c e o young says all of the actions are unfounded it looks like a renaissance castle in the middle of europe but it is actually only a modern replica and part of the research and development operations at china's tech supreme oh huawei the campus outside of shenzhen was opened this spring from the outside it's nostalgia of britain large but inside it is futurism pure huawei demonstrates tomorrow's world of wireless communications here the company uses the facility to flex its 5 g. muscles while ways take on the new technology is praised by many customers and it's cheaper than 5 g. systems from europe or the united states but many are wary with critics saying the threat for a while wait to misuse the technology is real the concern is that it would pass on user data to the chinese government. the chairman of the company told doj are valid the concerns

versus huawei. first, major changes happening at alphabet. larry page and sergey brin are both said to be stepping down with google ceo sundar pichai set to take over that position. sundar pichai will be the ceo of google and alphabet. page and brin will remain on the board. how big of a surprise was this? >> a pretty big surprise. there were questions of how much longer sundar might want to be ceo of google. google is under a massive amount of scrutiny. he has a lot of things to juggle. there have been internal protests. this really was a surprise where basically he has had to deal with all these things and he will be back dealing with all of the other things happening under the alphabet umbrella which includes self driving cars and other things. taylor: with larry and sergey as visionaries, and sundar as -- where do they fit in? >> i think larry page is the main visionary people think of when they think of google and the driving force, but larry and sergey together, they obviously founded the search engine and turned that into what it was t

he decided not to go with huawei? >> on the other countries that are not meeting, it's a large measure of determination and as i say, delegation is leader after leader that they said that they did want to reach those 2% target by 2024. we've seen real progress being made and it's not but 400 billion dollars by the countries by 2024. on huawei, and the 5g, i don't want this country to be unnecessarily hostile from overseas and we can't prejudice are fighting national spirit and our ability to come up with other security partners. that would be the key criteria in our decision about huawei. clarissa brown of the mail. >> thank you. can i just get a clarification on debbie's question. are you saying that you were discussing donald trump? has the issue of foreign fighters come up? are you guys going to bring back the brits from syria? thank you. >> on debbie's question and your question, i don't really know what's being referred to. i can tell you that foreign fighters syria and will be beyond ...

yep an industry that warns if -- you huawei equipment have an industry that warns if you ban huawei equipment, if they have to strip those out, if they were have to impose a full ban on huawei, you would have a delay for a couple of years, you would have huge cuts, but security types here and the intelligence agencies and others are saying they have to do that. lawmakers are on board now. vonnie: what is the alternative for germany? whipped from china on auto use. aside from that, what will germany do for 4g or 5g if it does not turn to huawei? patrick: what if the arguments is if you block while weight you would give a boost to european -- if you block while weight you would give up -- if you block a boost towould give nokia and ericsson. but because huawei has complete dominance, and a lot of german lawmakers are saying why can't we have european champions that can fill that space? vonnie: will there be u.s. champions filling that space? patrick: there has been talk of that. a lot of the focus has been on nokia and ericsson. vonnie: thank you. that is patrick donahue in berlin. let's check

back to 5g, we can simply say we out ofng to keep huawei u.s. networks, but it is not going to be kept out of other networks. i want to make sure i get these and this is an important point. i will try to speed this up. we havey in the past, always thought, even if not invented in america, we, by the size of our market and an open and competitive marketplace, if we can out-innovate, we win the long-term battle. we are seeing in the case of 5g the first example of what may be the new model of the 21st century, where china basically has good technology, whether they acquired it, stole litter stole it or, -- developed it, back a national champion and then go into the marketplace, and if we expect a market-based solution against a company sponsored by china, the 5g market, about $75 billion in equipment to be purchased, china has put up a $100 billion fund to back huawei. so the notion that any company -- and we don't even have an american competitor in this space -- can go against an international competitor on offer 140%huawei can financing, that i

one flashpoint continues to be the fate of huawei. barking another furious round of lobbying from industry associations representing chipmakers, software companies, and manufacturers. droning us is dan wang from gav ekal dragonomics. the state of huawei? at one point, we were talking about a corporate death penalty. are they in a better position? huawei has been doing much better than i expected. i thought there was quite a good chance of a lot of the operations not being a concern. it has done well for two reasons. it has had remarkable success replacing a lot of the u.s. components within its smartphones so it is much less dependent on u.s. supply. the second reason is it turns are a littleions more porous than what people thought. huawei is still able to acquire quite a lot of u.s. components through the offshore production. hads because huawei has these two options that it is doing quite a bit better than people thought. scarlet: going to the first point about replacing u.s. components, who did it replace them with? is it parts ma

now, this legal challenge by huawei. this new challenge by huawei. this new challenge is about rural and remote mobile carriers being able to dip into a government subsidy programme from the us, $8.5 billion subsidy that the government provides, its called the universal service fund, and they can dip into it and essentially pay for mobile equipment to increase telecoms and rural and remote areas. they have said huawei are on a blacklist, you are not allowed to dip into funds, $8.5 billion, if they are dipping into that it billion, if they are dipping into thatitis billion, if they are dipping into that it is going straight to china, that it is going straight to china, thatis that it is going straight to china, that is quite a lot of money. they are going to have to diversify themselves and find a new way to do themselves and find a new way to do the majority of the business. idsa thatis the majority of the business. idsa that is a legal challenge that will not be decided in hours and days. this is an intriguing story, the expulsion of two russian dip

>> as we have shared before that we have been continuing to ship product to huawei that has not been subject to export administration regulations and now we are thankful to the u.s. administration reviewing applications for licenses that we applied and approving them, four shipments to huawei all the applications we applied for have been approved what it means is that for new products that we are designing and new products and new platforms that huawei is designing, now we can begin the qualification activities for new products to be designed into their new platforms. those typically take a few months over the course of last few months, since huawei was placed on entity listing, we couldn't engage in new product qualification activities with huawei as we qualify new products that will take a couple of quarters, beyond that we would seeing growing opportunity for us to deliver mor product to huawei. it used to be 12 to 13% of business, it is now less than that micron business is globally very well diversified end markets well diversified from smart phones to data centers, all of the t

china's put out $100 billion fund to back huawei. so the notion that any company -- we don't even have an american competitor in this space -- can go against that kind of enterprise on price when huawei can cut their price with good equipment and offer 140% financing, that is a challenge that we can't solve on our own. so one of the things i believe we need to look at are how we start thinking about international technology alliances, 5 g being the starting point. but whatever we do -- and there will be needs for a level of government involvement and support unlike anything we've seen in modern times. this country is going to have to start thinking about terms like industrial policy in ways we've not thought about in the last 15 years. the good news is i think there's broad based consensus across the american political spectrum this may be the time and issue that brings us together. there is also a growing recognition amongst -- a lot of this was driven initially by japan, korea, australia as they saw these chinese influences across

companies doing business with huawei for example, the fact that huawei is currently not using a licensed version of google's android operating system sure, they went ahead, created their own system most experts agree that it is not actually launching your own operating system, that's the hard part technically. it is offering services, cloud services, getting app makers on board to make your smart phone a great experience i think that's something that huawei is going to have to face in a real way in 2020. >> true that in the home market in china, google services already aren't being used. there they may not haveas much issue. they would in europe i guess mike, it seems to me that what we're achieving with huawei, when i say we, i mean the u.s., as much u.s. isolation as huawei isolation. if you look at what happened, a lot of u.s. companies were up in arms about not being able to do business with huawei they got exemptions. europe is buying a ton of equipment from huawei. that's fine if you stand on principle. shouldn't we acknowledge what's actually happening, huawei continuing to do pre

nelson: huawei was not the first company to be targeted. was also targeted in the same way after documents were leaked within the company showing it had a concerted effort underway within the company to divert american technology to iran, contrary to u.s. sanctions laws. huawei was prosecuted in that case, ultimately settled out of court with a plea bargain and fine.nt of a very large lin there were changes at the board, officer level, and so on. some analysts have been predicting a resolution of huawei may involve a similar scenario, at least from the viewpoint of the justice department. that would be an optimal outcome. of course, huawei has always denied these charges in an , believes that they are trumped up in order to see them as a not legitimate competitor. david: we are talking to nelson dong in seattle. let's change from export controls to investment. we also have so-called sify is restrictions that the treasury can place on investments in the u.s.. there has been new legislation that has gone into effect in 2018. has investment in

where does the uk government stand on huawei? the new government left to take that decision quickly, the situation is that because we did not anticipate the potential threat that huawei would pose, we did not actually make sufficient provisions for those elements of 5g that we would have to incorporate from elsewhere the decision needs to be based on national security consideration and not considerations of whether it is one country or another that we want to incorporate. we need to have a set of objective rules and that will determine who might or might not be incorporated into projects rather than picking out a particular country or a particular company at the beginning. so to get a clear a nswer the beginning. so to get a clear answer from you from your own view as to president trump's statement that huawei is a security danger. is ita that huawei is a security danger. is it a security danger?” that huawei is a security danger. is it a security danger? i think that there are elements of incorporation of certain countries, ch

taylor: joining us now from washington, huawei's chief security officer. andy, i have to ask, why spend the time and money suing the fcc was, frankly, the u.s. is such a small market for you guys? >> well, we are really sorry we had to do it. it is disconcerting. there are good people at the fcc. this action they took is beyond the pale. as we allege enough our lawsuit, they have ignored the constitutions, the statutes, due process under the statutes, and they have not followed their own precedent. a rule of law country that we are rightly proud of, but this commission has not acted consistent with the law so we were forced to take legal action. it is not about our ability to make money in the u.s. we want to protect our customers and want to help serve over 300 suppliers for which over 40,000 jobs depend. taylor: so you don't think this has been an outdo distraction from focusing on some of your bigger markets like europe or asia? andy: we are in 170 countries. i have been to 26 countries. i was recently in moldova, only 2 million people there. . only 2 m

do you think huawei has a case here? well that's the case that huawei will make, that the action by the fcc was in theirterms, in their terms, capricious, in theirterms, capricious, and arbitrary, and that the potential of doing harm shouldn't be means itself or reason itself to abandon them from the market. but for years, the us has been concerned about the increasing integration of the supply chain as we shift from hardware to software to find networks, and concerns about huawei's success in the technologies that make up the market. in the united states the smallest of the communication service providers are subsidized through something called universal service fund, and these dollars that are pulled from the larger operators to bring communication service to rural areas and underserved populations, the fcc has determined that they do have the authority to condition acceptance of those federal funds with security obligations. in this case, the security obligation being not to use huawei or other similarly concerning co

huawei calls it unlawful, it strips the company of due process protections. huawei's chief security officer telling us that they're fighting back >> this is our opportunity to use one of the legally permissible mechanisms to block the united states government carpet bombing of huawei in the united states, trying to destroy us around the world. they've gone too far this is our way of saying enough. >> not mincing words trouble is brewing for huawei at home in china. they're threatening the company's goodwill, strong position in the country at a time when business overseas outside of china is challenged the treatment of the employee jailed for 8 months stands in contrast in a post of the anniversary of her arrest, she has time to read a book cover to cover, carefully complete an oil painting recent backlash in china contrasts to what's been patriotic support for huawei smart phones in the face of u.s. sanctions. third quarter, the company captured 42% of china's smart phone market, helping propel it to the number two smart phone maker worldwide. back to you. >>

talk further about relations between huawei and germany with ekta for decoding from deep to do business welcome so we had in the in the interview. who say that without a lawful request hallway would not engage in spying so did he say what would happen if china makes what it deems a lawful request to do this well this is something we've heard a few times now we've also heard from hallway founder of enjoying fame saying that promising that they won't use their equipment for spying but it's one of those things that you say i mean you're not going to say i am going to use it for spying it's kind of without a lawful request i mean there is definite legislation in china that allows for companies to to requires companies to do what they're told when it comes to the government if there's deep matters of national security for example and also there's no way that huawei will do anything that works against the communist party's interests it's just it's not able to do that it doesn't happen in china so it's one of those comments that is it's basically part of what appears to be a sort of a marketin

huawei denies the allegations made by washington. meanwhile, germany's chancellor angela merkel has also sounded a warning, saying europe — a key part of nato — needs to have a unified policy on the rollout of the next—generation sg networks to address espionage concerns. the concerns seem very real, don't they? with me now is matthew howett, a telecoms analyst with at assembly research can we start in the technical level, the idea of espionage, it's a real fear, but is it real in practice? that's it, we've all got concerns about how much influence china has in our lives and it extends to the mobile network. i think the evidence so mobile network. i think the evidence so far suggests that is not the case, particularly in the uk, all of the huawei kit has been subject to investigation by the cyber security centre for almost a decade. they've taken it apart with a screwdriver and they found nothing but sloppy coding which they think could be improved but certainly not the back doors that president trump and others allege. but the
