In an interview in China, Eric Xu tells the Financial Post Canadians should not equate the company with its homeland

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Huawei is just as trustworthy as a Canadian company, according to one of the telecom giant’s top executives, as the Chinese equipment maker works to boost its reputation in the face of growing concern over its ties to Beijing.

Echoing an argument made by founder Ren Zhengfei, Xu said the company would rather fold than obey a Communist Party request to access its equipment to spy outside China’s borders – even if the request came from President Xi Jinping himself.Despite a decade of smooth operations in the 3G and 4G mobile networks, Huawei’s status as a supplier to Bell and Telus could be jeopardized if Canada follows the U.S.

“We used to place our trust on Boeing, but now we don’t know,” Xu said. “Maybe people do not have as much trust today, but maybe after two years people would trust them again. I think that’s the same situation for Huawei.” “Singling out Huawei will not address cyber security concerns,” said Xu, noting cyber security is still a concern in the U.S. even though Huawei doesn’t have a presence there.

You can't imagine how trustworthy our canola oil is..

My next Phone will be a Huawei!

Sadly, that may be true

Now that is funny. And their government is as ethical as ours too. LOL

Your government is NOT trustworthy. China's government marches to its own tune, is secretive and doesn't allow democracy and very much political freedom. China is a thief of intellectual property and in cyberspace.

Not buying this ... CHINA is not behaving like a country you can trust
