China's foreign ministry comments
- Says that it does not force firms to install backdoors
- Says never heard of any country having a security problem with Huawei
The defensive wall is starting to mount now as Japan and the UK adds to the list of countries that are taking a step back from Huawei, ZTE dealings in recent times. You have to wonder how will China choose to "retaliate" if they really begin to be angered by the whole situation here.
That's another potential worry to add to markets should that be the case.
