The shortcoming to win US government approval isn’t exactly an unfamiliar issue for Huawei , which by now should be conditioned to not expect a nod from major US telecom companies. But now, The Daily Beast reports that the U.S. Commerce Department has made it very clear that the Chinese company should not have a job in building the country’s new dedicated first responder wireless network. A spokesman wasn’t shy in regards to the reason, either, explaining that Huawei “is absolutely not enjoying the building of America’s interoperable wireless emergency network for first responders as a result of U.S. government national security concerns.” And what about those national security concerns? Well, Hauwei president Ren Zhengfei’s former role as a People’s Liberation Army technologist may need something to do with it, considering it wouldn’t be unreasonable to suspect that he still has some fairly close ties to Chinese government officials . We have not heard a peep from the feds regarding Hauwei’s invitation for US officials to analyze the corporate earlier this year, but it’s safe to imagine that the investigation either didn’t go rather well, or much more likely that it hasn’t happened in any respect. We imagine that whole corporate espionage debacle probably didn’t help the corporate, either.
