Chinese tech company Huawei’s lawsuit against the U.S. government was thrown out Tuesday by a federal judge, who ruled the company had no legal ground to file the suit.
District Judge Amos Mazzant dismissed the suit, filed in response to the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which banned technology from Huawei and fellow Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE from being bought or used by federal agencies.
“Huawei is disappointed in today’s ruling and while we understand the paramount significance of national security, the approach taken by the U.S. government in the 2019 NDAA provides a false sense of protection while undermining Huawei’s constitutional rights,” said a Huawei spokesperson.
“We will continue to consider further legal options.” He noted
American lawmakers have long warned that the company’s technology could be used by the Chinese government to compromise U.S. intelligence and spy on Americans.
Huawei disputes the claim, contending that they operate independently from the Chinese government.
U.S. officials recently revealed that the company can secretly breach networks by using built-in “back door” technology.
We are compelled to take this legal action as a proper and last resort,” Guo Ping, Huawei Rotating Chairman said in a press release.
“This ban not only is unlawful but also restricts Huawei from engaging in fair competition, ultimately harming U.S. consumers.”
