Andy Purdy, chief security officer for Huawei Technologies USA, says that concerns over whether the company can be used by China as a backdoor for spying fail to address the broader issue of governments already spying without permission.

Purdy made the comments during a wide-ranging discussion on Motherboard’s CYBER podcast, during which he commented on geopolitical tensions between China and the United States, the detainment of two Canadian nationals by Chinese authorities, and allegations that data from Huawei products ended up in state hands.
