We asked, you told us: You think the US has gone too far against HUAWEI
July 09, 2025
HUAWEI is facingUS trade restrictionsthat are tougher than ever, to the point where even non-American companieslike LG and Samsungare halting shipments to China’s tech giant. The company has warned that itwon’t have high-end Kirin processorsin its phones for the foreseeable future.
These measures are supposed to prevent HUAWEI from using its cellular networking equipment and smartphones to spy on US interests. But isthe crackdownwarranted? And if it is, did the US go too far? We asked for your thoughts.
Has the US gone too far against HUAWEI?
We published our poll on September 10, with 3,564 of you chiming in. And the results are clear: most of you believe the US went too far against HUAWEI, with 67.6% of readers contending that the ban was either too strict or shouldn’t have been in place at all. That left just 32.4% of you agreeing with the restrictions.
This doesn’t come as a complete shock. While the US government has been adamant that HUAWEI poses a security risk due to the possibility of receiving surveillance requests from the Chinese Communist Party, there’s been a distinct lack of public evidence to show this has happened. It wouldn’t be surprising if you remain unconvinced that HUAWEI is a threat.
This could have an impact on your phone choices. The ban effectively blocks US sales of HUAWEI phones like theP40 Proand prevents them from using certain processors or Google apps. Smartphone competition is worse off in the current climate.
