huawei, the chinese telecom giant is identified as national security list and blacklisted by the u.s. government and our response to allegations that it could be used for spying. we got exclusive access to huawei s headquarters. so glad you were able to join us, tell us what you learned. thanks for having us. it s interesting, huawei s has always denied the allegations but it seems that those denials were taken to a whole new level. the company is arguing that he really couldn t spy even if it wanted to. it was a 45 minute drive from downtown to the corporate headquarters and a rare opportunity for an american television crew to tour the facility. we were met there by an englishman, the huawei vp, and we knew by the extension of the invitation, they had a story they wanted us to here.
