The story says this: "In the report, U.K. officials said they were particularly concerned that Huawei hasn’t implemented companywide cybersecurity practices that it vowed to put in place in 2012, the same year a report from the U.S. Congress labeled Huawei a national security threat." How many identified security flaws are allowed to go for 7 years before they are patched? Not many. Companies start to lose customers when people find out they are not responsive to fixing flaws in their software. They start to get the idea that Huawei doesn't care about those holes and may be allowing them to remain for the very reasons the US government has accused them of working for the Chinese intelligence community.

Huawei Not Responsive to Security
The UK has recently said there are security flaws in some of Huawei's products, not because they were necessarily built in to allow attacks, but because they were identified and not corrected by Huawei. Lots of companies have this problem, and it was one of my greatest frustrations when working for the government. Huawei is different than the usual company.
