Summary
But US experts on Chinese law and tech policy say the country’s government doesn’t limit itself to what the law explicitly allows.Huawei’s CEO and founder Ren Zhengfei told journalists in January that “no law in China requires any company to install mandatory backdoors,” secret flaws that would allow spying or cyberattacks. He has helped the country’s government develop its first freedom of information laws, and also drafted privacy legislation.All the same, scholars of Chinese law and tech policy outside the country are dismissive of Zhou’s arguments in Huawei’s defense.Donald Clarke, a professor and specialist in Chinese law at George Washington University, says it’s possible that the letter of the Chinese law does protect the company, although it would take a careful analysis to check.
