US government is 'ignorant of technology', say Huawei bosses

This is probably the most convincing line of argument against as-yet unsubstantiated claims by the US that Huawei is an arm of the Chinese government. It's probably a distraction--the folks doing the actual research within the US's TLAs almost certainly include some highly competent people--but the leadership have practically set themselves up for this sort of ad hominem-yet-accurate attack.

Has anybody checked all the code from Huawei that ends up vetted on its way into the Linux Kernel?

As far as institutional code contributors go, they're climbing. Theyre not quite Red Hat or Intel, but theyre certainly beating out any other primarily-phone manufacturer.

Fact check: true.
