If anyone is curious about Huawei networking equipment, I have two different types of access points im testing tomorrow, the AD9430DN-24 switches and the AC6605-26-PWR Access Controller. I'll start a thread tomorrow.
I highly recommend not to because Huawei is compromised by the Chinese, just like Lenovo.
Lenovo is not compromised by the Chinese. Lenovo is the bad actor here, not China.
Huawei was compromised by the NSA, but I know nothing of them being compromised by the Chinese.

Is the true identity of the compromiser really more important than the fact that the gear is compromised?
"Hey don't drink that, it's poisoned with X!"
"No, it's poisoned with Y, big difference!!!"
Well, calling Lenovo compromised is confusing. It's running as intended, it's just a malicious product. It's important to identify your enemies rather than innocent third parties that your enemies also target.
That level of specific-ness is way too close to tin foil hattery for my taste. I assume nearly everyone is the enemy and go on about my life. I'd live in a metal lined cave in the wilderness if I spent any time worrying about all the specifics of that horse shit.

Where do we want to start?
Did you check that Google search? Nothing in there suggests that their networking gear is compromised. Not that it isn't, but nothing in the first two pages seems to even talk about it. There is a belief that the vendor may report back to the Chinese details from their contract work in the US and that might be bad, but that's pretty different and it's a bit hard to know who is blaming whom there.
Seems like a lot of soft conjecture around something other than we are discussing at best.

Fun story;
I was chatting with a friend at the bar when a lady walked up with a slinky black dress and red leather boots on. She looked at me and I remarked "Nice boots"
Moral of the story: boots sounds a lot like something else in a loud bar.

One for @Texkonc on the job hunting front:
-
@nadnerB that's a good one. It also gives me a great article idea. Why would hiring managers make their staff "sell them" themselves? Are we hiring techs or salespeople? Why rule out the engineers that aren't good salespeople? Isn't that rather foolish?
