New Zealand blocks wireless carrier from using Huawei equipment

New Zealand officials have blocked a major telecom carrier in the country from using Huawei equipment in its upcoming 5G mobile network, the New York Times reports. The company, Spark, said in a statement that New Zealand's Director-General of the Government Communications Security Bureau believed using Huawei gear would "raise significant national security risks," a sentiment that mirrors what has already been expressed by US and Australian governments. The US government in particular has been vocal about its concern that Huawei has connections to the Chinese government that make its products major national security risks.
