It was a open secret that Huawei wanted to buy Nortel but was warned that the US Government would refuse to do business with anynetwork operator with Huawei gear in their core network. The Huawei deal to acquire3Com with Bain Capital died specifically for that reason.
And yet the news late last year from the US DoD - Chinese-made Integrated Circuits are in all sorts of DoD equipment (according to the reports, also in "Sensitive" devices!)
No big deal though - we can trust the Chinese, right? A little melamine never hurt anybody - did it?
