that is kiefer huawei -- key for huawei. they want to discuss with the national security establishment and industries in the u.s. to provide a framework where they can operate in the u.s. market. the chief legal officer had to say to me about the impact on huawei's market and its business in the u.s.. the u.s. market accounts for 20 to 30% of the global market important. we hope we would have a fair chance to compete in its. leaving the u.s. market is only a last resort. to a legal expert who said president trump does have the power to intervene in this case against huawei because there are two criminal cases against huawei, one involving in cfo around bank fraud relation to iran sanctions, the other around intellectual property theft. the president has the power to intervene, but he would pay a high cost, says the analyst. haslinda: part of the broader push back for huawei. what are the chances of succeeding? you are absolutely right. this is part of a more robust response from huawei in terms of the pushback it has faced f

is huawei squeaky clean? no. the record suggests it isn't and in part we don't have a clear picture of its record. there is sensitive intelligence they cannot share with us. there are examples of chinese espionage that remain classified. i have seen them. i know them to be true. there shouldn't be any question there are clear links to the chinese intelligence services. the person who led the commerce department review of national security and espionage concerns related to high-technology trade with china, doctor james lewis, even with our lack of access to that sensitive classified intelligence, what do we know in the public realm? the us has been grappling with this. it was in 2008 the obama administration and u.s. congress blocked the sale of us software company to huawei. in 2010 they prevented sprint nextel on national security concerns. the commerce department over national security concerns, this goes back over ten years we have had these concerns and it is not just the us, australia, japan and several euro

huawei, andy, 7:00 a.m., discussing the relations between the u.s. and huawei and, of course, all of the speculation of espionage going on at huawei right now. we will talk with andy coming up in the program, this is a big story, the wall street journal out with a op-ed this morning titled thank you tax reform, writing donald trump's tariff policieses continue to be a risk to investment and growth and the federal reserve is a wild card but the evidence of the last two years is deregulation and tax reform spurred private capital investment exactly when expansion needed to avoid recession. what's your reaction to this because the tax reform and the rollback in regulations definitely moved the needle, we did see growth yesterday that was better than expected for the fourth quarter and name of gdp. >> you're right, and i'm frustrated about it. donald trump's name on top of the paper and the administration and you go down the things that he has done probusiness and prothe economy since he has been in office, it's

now, huawei is suing the u.s. government.he united states decision to bar the government from using the chinese telecom company equipment. this as huawei is in big legal trouble itself over intellectual property theft allegations. here is what andy purdy had to say in response. in the theft of intellectual property by the china government that is not us, the china government doesn't speak for us, we don't speak to the china government. i applaud the united states and others to try and crackdown on the global theft of intellectual property. which has been a disgrace in the last 50 years that we've not done enough about it. i'm glad to see president trump raising that as an important issue in the trade talks. maria: joining right now, a vendor in the technology world, the former chief operating officer at microsoft, managing director -- good to have you on the program. thank you for joining us. >> hi maria. maria: you just heard andy purdy defending huawei but you know, i had to go on with the interview and list at least five o

meng wanzhou, the chief financial officer of huawei will appear ina financial officer of huawei willurt, at the same time as the giant will begin a lawsuit against the us government. we spoke last month with huawei's chairman's father, who deny the allegations. what did he tell you about the relationship with the chinese government? i'm picking that relationship for any chinese company is very tricky, but mr ren speaking to me last month was categorical. huawei hasn't got where it is today because of any undue influence or favours from the chinese communist party but there has been criticism raised about how close these entities are when you look at the retaliation that china has gone out around the world defending huawei and also the detention and arrest of the two canadians very much being seen as beijing's way of retaliating for what the united states and canada have done to huawei. listen to what mr ren said to me when i put to what mr ren said to me when i put to him how stridently china is defending huawei around the world. translation: it is the chinese government's duty to pr

you think huawei is a threat, but what proof is there that huawei is a threat?we have seen a number of things that huawei has done over the years to benefit itself from chinese government espionage. it is interesting the cisco ceo is not concerned. if you look at the older generation of huawei routers, they look like cisco routers because their ip was taken from cisco originally. another issue, they are undercutting folks from an economic perspective because of the huge gains. from a national security perspective, the ceo was asked will you agree to not engage with the chinese government? he has refused. he's a former chinese officer himself. you have to be willing to say we won't do those things if you are to be trusted for infrastructure. emily: do you think china could shut off 5g capabilities? jamil: it is unlikely china would shut off those capabilities. it is unknown what can happen but we are not talking about that. china benefits usually from a robust telecommunications infrastructure. the idea they might shut it down completely is unlikely. the more lik

there is also a pr campaign by huawei.y have invited journalists down here, have opened up some of their labs. they are trying to show that they are a transparent company, a private company without links to the chinese government. been one, the u.s. has a campaign to paint them as a major u.s. national security risk. they are suing the u.s. government. i sat down with their chief whyl officer and asked him they were taking this action, what they hope to achieve, and if they could really convinced that if beijing and knocking, they would say no. take a listen to this exclusive interview. we hope the u.s. courts would declare the section ruling invalid, letting huawei participate in fair competition in the u.s. market and bringing art and technology into the u.s. legal expert a last night who said the chances of success for huawei were very slim indeed. where do you think the chances of success lige? is this more about messaging, ultimately, for huawei? >> i don't think our chances of winning are slim. we think we have ample

overnight, looks like huawei is now suing the u.s.t after preventing government agencies from buying huawei technology, calling it quote, unconstitutional. just moments ago, the state department declined to comment on this lawsuit and this as new research suggests that samsung and apple are increasingly losing their share of the smartphone market to huawei. so what does this all mean on the heels of 5g's exciting new rollout? let's bring in barron's senior tech writer, john schwartz, who covered silicon valley for over 30 years. enjoying the rain, i'm sure. good to see you. huawei launching this lawsuit, calling it unconstitutional and we also have the cfo awaiting extradition trial in vancouver, canada. she also launched a lawsuit saying it's unconstitutional to be keeping her, holding her in canada. this is a way for huawei to finally fight back? >> well, it is. huawei in a sense has the direct attention of the u.s. government and all the tech companies in the u.s., as you mentioned earlier, in terms of smartphone and in terms of te

huawei faces a tough battle. again, i asked him about this press zpent what it means for huawei's attempt to the legal system let's listen to to what he had to say >> the point in the case made the point in the 2018 national defense authorization act only regulated what government agencies could buy, and it went out of its way to say it wob have would be a different case if the government was trying to interfere in the private marketplace. of course, huawei doesn't sell to the united states government. what huawei is trying to do is to sell to private companies in private transactions, and that is the huge difference between the case and this case it's that fundamental difference that huawei is chal epging through its constitutional clapz. >> huawei hab under huge political pressure all the way through 2018 it's now trying to fight back against some of the allegations made around it, around espionage, for example, for the chinese government it's gone on a huge public relations push now it's gone in a massive lega

huawei's legal case. latest developments as the chinese technology giant sues the us over its equipment banned. and making quirks work, what electric car makers are doing to stand out at this he's geneva motor show. hello and welcome to the friday edition of asia business report. and sharanjit leyl asia business report. and sharanjit leyl. in a us state department declined to comment directly on the lawsuit brought against the government for banning federal agencies from using huawei's products. but at the same time it said that generally washington wants telecoms networks that are free from suppliers that would, quote, posed risks of malicious cyber activity. international negotiator martin madeira is offered this analysis.” think it is pretty typical. you don't comment on pending lawsuits, that the trend and in this case, the united states, will make itself heard in the court of law. and there isa heard in the court of law. and there is a general matter i think it first movies to file a motion to dismis

ally saying look, it is either us or huawei. if you choose who you way, you will be limiting your access to u.s. intelligence. and of course all of this happening against the broader backdrop of a standoff between china and the united states over who controls the technologies of the future and guess what 5g is one of those technologies. and cow way cow w huawei is a leader when it comes to 5g equipment. so the trump administration has been pressuring allies to ban or limit or restrict the use of huawei in their 5g networks. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo saying just last weekend that countries need to consider carefully using huawei because huawei poses a national security risk. and if countries choose to use huawei, they need to consider the risks carefully. so again, not naming names there, but definitely a broader warning to allies like germany and the uk and canada, all of whom are considering using huawei in the building of their 5g networks. >> further impacting an already strained relationship. >>> and north korea ap

huawei after pushback from the u.s. pushback on the legal front, and we have outlined some of those cases there, but also on public relations front. but is rather have invented journalists down to their campus in shenzhen. they have opened up some of their labs, taking us on tours, trying to show themselves as a company that operates heavily and separate from the chinese government. on the legal side, as you say, we have heard that they are looking to sue the u.s. government over what is effectively a ban on carriers using their equipment. we have had that case in canada, where meng wenzhou has sued the canadian government over which it claims are violations of her rights. so it is a push on the public relations side as well by huawei who are trying to commit themselves to argue against the u.s. campaign. the u.s. is trying to push its allies to push out and ban equipment from huawei, saying that they'd pose a significant security risk. emily: how is this deal being covered in chinese media? president trump: it is inter

in china, huawei has to give the chinese anything they ask for. so imagine a country in which huawei now controls the routers and all the hardware, forget about the cell phones, all the pipes and cables and wires and everything, the cables, the fiber that all of this information goes across, and they are the ones that built it and control it, and china decides you know, we want access to that because we want to steal commercial secrets or spy on america, we got a big, big problem when they are imbedded in your infrastructure. they should not be in business in america. stuart: this is a major fight, obviously. does it impinge upon the trade negotiations? >> it shouldn't, because it's a

or it is huawei. and if you choose huawei, we will limit your access to u.s. intelligence.first time that the united states has sent such an explicit warning to a u.s. ale lie. all of this against the broader backdrop of a standoff between china and the united states over who controls the technologies of the future. and 5g is one of those technologies. your smartphones and virtual reality and self-driving cars, all of those things will be powered by 5g. and huawei is a leader when it comes to 5g equipment. and the trump administration has been pressuring allies to limit or ban or restrinkt tstrict the huawei. so even secretary of state mike pompeo saying last week any country that considers using huawei needs to consider the national security risks. so not naming countries there, but certainly a broader warning to the allies of the united states like germany and the uk and canada, all of whom are considering using the chinese company in the buildout of their 5g networks. >> a lot there to unpack. all right. thank you. >>> a check on cnn business. global markets positive thi

when it comes to the case of huawei.taliatory actions by beijing are beneficiary to your case or are they undermining huawei's case? >> i'm not the chinese government nor am i part of any other government, so i can't comment on their positions. we hope we can bring values to the countries that she was us and to our clients. our strategy is to help clients more successful in their businesses and help countries who choose us. that is our priority. reporter: the u.s.-china trade talks in beijing this week, do you think huawei is coming up in those discussions, and if president trump was to intervene on behalf of huawei, would you welcome that? >> i have also read this in various media and other sources, but i have no further knowledge or information regarding this. reporter: it seems like a key and central part of this controversy around huawei comes down to trust. there's a question as to whether founders of the company, if they are members of the communist party and they signed and took the oath for the communist party of

this also comes as a question in europe why we should say not just within germany about using huawei and this comes as the e.u. itself is sort of taken to heart attack against china in recent weeks working tell us there you know well the e.u. has sort of talking about china now as a strategic rival it's changing its view a little bit on the china has before it seem to do to make a lot of concessions when it came to dealing with china now it's taking a harder line so i think i think that while we falls into this a little bit particular it comes to things like a level playing fields which is a big issue for trade talks you know would china allow german companies to bid for a five g. license it's very unlikely so there's a lot of these sort of debates coming up and i think before this auction is over we're going to see a lot more of these sort of questions being raised and discussed now briefly a lot of accusations out there about. we seen any evidence yet that makes them the suggest they are a trojan horse to beijing there's been no real concrete evidence there's been a couple of cases

huawei especially is one of the largest.veloping connections across the entire globe, the entire communications network around the globe, so that they can have, they can suck up anyone's e-mails, phone calls, text messages. maria: wow. >> that's what they're working on and any of the countries that allow huawei to come in and put in the backbone of their architecture, they're absolutely crazy because everything from their government is going to be headed straight to chinese intelligence. maria: i have a report here by i pvm and they call themselves the leading researcher on all video, all things video cameras. they report that huawei telecom components are currently in 60% of all video cameras across the world. i want don't to be alarmist, but that tells me that china is not just listening to us, they're watching us. >> and don't forget the big tech companies are able to do that too, and so but as it relates to huawei, the challenge s that this is not a private company as much as it is a government-owned company from the chi

government has been trying to argue that huawei is a security risk. being perceived by u.s. allies who are being lobbied by u.s. officials? tom: this is a real conundrum particularly for countries like germany, like the czech republic and like poland, who are wrestling with these issues. they want to have access to what is a cheap and high-performing gear from huawei, but they have to maintain the security alliances with the u.s. and we heard from the likes of mike pompeo and vice president mike pence saying that if you were to incorporate huawei technology, maybe the u.s. wouldn't be able to do business with you, that it could affect medications between the u.s. and those countries. this european debate is well underway. companies like the u.s. have their own system set up with gc hq overseeing some of huawei's code and its hardware. others may be looking for that as an example but clearly the u.s. is determined to pressure its allies to block huawei as much as possible. emily: coming up, new york's tech scene is growing up, venture capital investmen

and china on huawei itself?isuck robbins built on a combination of communication suppliers and despite everything we hear, i think that will be the case in the future as well. we will have a guest at 6:40 p.m. and this has been the focus, not only on huawei but also the case against zte. a key point right now is that is ramping up the pressure against the u.s. government, fighting back come in canada as well over the extradition of its cfo, that it is sort of shooting itself in the foot because you don't want to come off as being belligerent , you want to come off as a good, calm partner. we've seen the rhetoric from china not only from the huawei side but from the government side with the prime minister in the past. romaine: thank you, shery. don't miss daybreak asia at 6:00 p.m. eastern. changing gears to south america, guaido returning to venezuela today. the opposition leader who has been declared acting president left the country last week in violation of a supreme court ordered travel ban. he went to meet

the headlines: huawei isn't backing down. the chinese technology giant is expected to announce it's suing the us government. it comes on the same day the company's chief financial officer appears at her first extradition hearing in canada. i'm rico hizon in singapore. also in the programme: behind bars — the us singer r kelly is back in custody after a court hearing over unpaid child support. and why many foreign students are choosing australia rather than britain or america to study. this is bbc world news. it's newsday. hello. you are very welcome to newsday. it's 1am in london, 9am in singapore, and also in shenzhen, where the chinese telecom giant huawei is expected to announce legal action against the us government for barring american companies from using its technology. now a big announcement like that would allow huawei to seize back the narrative from the extradition hearing against its chief financial officer meng wanzhou, in canada. ms meng has made a brief first appearance at a court in vancouver. our corresponden

before that, huawei is going on the defensive.it against the us government. the company said america's decision to effectively ban huawei products was unconstitutional. we are left with no choice but to challenge the law in court. strictly speaking, these cases are not linked, but diplomatically they of course are. this is about who holds the balance of power in the next technological age, and canada, experiencing fierce pressure from both sides, is caught in the middle. this is the most turbulent moment in canada—china relations since tiananmen square in 1989, and the rift between the two countries is diplomatic. it's now getting into public perceptions, elite perceptions, and there's a huge new negativity on both sides about the others. this case is unquestionably bigger than just one woman, but the daily reality for meng wanzhou is that she must spend most of her time confined to this house until this huge diplomatic row is over. that could take years. dave lee, bbc news, in vancouver. let's talk now to emily taylor, associate

if mike pompeo is correct in saying we shouldn't trust huawei, why is the ftc using huawei as expert witnesses against qualcomm. the trump administration is many ways understanding we've got to have more 5g competitors. we've got verizon, at&t. they've put their blessing as noted a couple days ago, they're putting blessing on the sprint, t-mobile merger because they want another 5g company to compete against huawei. one of the points i would make to people, if you look at what happened in the summer of 2017, the chinese government passing a national intelligence act, they have the ability to coerce a lot of domestic companies like huawei to share that data with the chinese government. this has massive implications. last point, the internet of things, we'll have maybe 20 billion devices in the next couple he'll years, that technology, that platform, 5g, powering this, where is all that data going? is it going to china and chinese companies? will we wit be able to control t privacy? ashley: thank you so much for joining us this morning. lauren: the labor department is set to release th
