Although the U.S. government kept banning Huawei from offering more services and facilities to other countries, none of the European countries has officially announced to ban Huawei’s service. On the other hand, many countries have supported Huawei in public, including France, Finland, Brazil, and Hungary. Recently, Huawei also signed a “no-spy” agreement with the Germany government to guarantee the safety of its telecom service. As a service and facilities provider, Huawei is focusing on the research and development of its technology, but not on the taking of private information.
