Shenzhen (US), May 29: China’s technology giant Huawei has said on Wednesday the company has lodged a “motion for summary judgment” in a lawsuit against the United States challenging its constitutionality of American law blocking its federal agencies to buy products and equipment of Huawei.
According to ANI news reports, the fresh lawsuit filed request the apex court to override a pinch of the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA), which has especially banned its governmental agencies from making use of technologies from Huawei and China’s other company like ZTE.
US President Donald Trump has inked the NDAA last year while alleging Huawei’s products posed a threat to American national security, as the Chinese authority could make use of Huawei by its intelligence agencies to spy on the USA.
Huawei had sued Trump-led government in March, calling a porting of the NDAA act “unconstitutional”.
While addressing a media conference in Shenzhen, tech giant Huawei’s legal advisor Song Liuping stated US political figures are “using the strength of an entire nation to come after a private company”.
He added saying, “The US government has provided no evidence to show that Huawei is a security threat. There is no gun, no smoke. Only speculations.”
Huawei is facing a growing backlash from Western nations, led by the US, over potential risks and threats posed by using its equipment in next-generation 5G network.
