US JUDGE DISMISSES HUAWEI SUIT OVER GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS BAN
A federal judge in Texas has dismissed Chinese
tech giant Huawei’s lawsuit challenging a U.S.
law that bars the government and its contractors
from using Huawei equipment because of
security concerns.
The lawsuit, filed last March, sought to declare
the law unconstitutional. Huawei argued the law
singled out the company for punishment, denied
it due process and amounted to a “death penalty.”
But a court ruled Tuesday that the ban isn’t
punitive and that the federal government has
the right to take its business elsewhere.
