Huawei (Chinese: 华为技术有限公司) is a Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer which had its beginning in the 1980s making telephone switching equipment, largely copied from foreign manufacturers. In recent times, Huawei has been known for its cell phones, networking switching equipment, servers, and telephone broadcast systems. Huawei fell under scrutiny in the western world in 2018, when the daughter of the founder of Huawei was arrested in Canada and extradited to the United States, causing an international incident.

Consumer-impact summary[edit | edit source]

While previously supportive of developers, including access to bootloader unlocking for their telephones, Huawei changed their stance [2]around the time of the Wang Mengzhou incident causing much frustration. This was compounded by their exit from various western markets, such as Canada, meaning that users of their telephones could not use third party firmware updates, nor could they get further OEM updates.

Huawei is widely considered, outside of China, to be under significant influence by the CCP, given that the founder of the company was formerly a PLA official. As such, they are often accused of enabling spying for the Chinese government using various means, both against dissidents and for corporate espionage purposes. Evidence for this is questionable at best, though Chinese law does stipulate that all companies submit to requests from the Politburo if demands are made.
