U.S. universities unplug from China’s Huawei under pressure from Trump

Reuters reported how the Trump administration’s intensifying scrutiny of Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers is prompting U.S. universities to ditch Chinese telecoms equipment makers as suppliers, sources of funding and partners in research projects. U.S. officials allege Chinese telecom manufacturers are producing equipment that allows their government to spy on users abroad, including Western researchers working on leading-edge technologies. Beijing and the Chinese companies have repeatedly denied such claims.
