A recent poll asked consumers if they believe the U.S. government's Huawei blacklisting was deserved by the Chinese tech-giant and results indicated that many consumers are backing the company as it continues to stand firm against White House attacks.
In the poll by Android Authority, 59 percent of the respondents said they don't think Huawei deserved all the tirades from U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration. 23 percent said they believe the attacks are reasonable, while 17 percent said they're not sure about how to respond to the issue.
The results were taken from 7,000 participants who, like many other analysts and spectators, want solid evidence about the Trump administration's Huawei claims. The U.S. government has yet to release evidence about the firm's alleged spying and security threat links.
For some of the participants, reviewing Huawei technology or blocking the company from 5G ventures would be fine. However, a blanket ban, for most, is unfair and unreasonable. Others said the company has strong connections with Beijing, making it a cause for concern regarding national security.
Among the most remarkable comments made by poll, participants include doubts about the U.S. government's reason for blacklisting Huawei two weeks ago. "I think in the grand scheme of it all, it's fair. However, I think the rationale they gave is quite bogus."
One commenter said that Google's decision to block Huawei smartphones from using Android is not of national security concern. Instead, it was done as "a dirty way to block the growth of a company."
Another commenter argued that Trump's earlier comments about potentially including Huawei in the trade deal with China appear to be "a negotiation tactic." Before the poll was released, other industry analysts already questioned the U.S. president's real purpose for trying to take down the Chinese tech parts supplier.
Multiple outlets reported that the company has cut down on smartphone production following Google's Android block. Huawei has yet to officially confirm the reports.
Meanwhile, China's leading tech company continues to defy the White House as it tries to find other channels for growth. Company Founder Ren Zhengfei previously hinted that the firm is working on its very own operating system following business fallout with Google.
In a statement released by the company on Monday, Huawei released photos and comments made by Singaporean smartphone patrons who heaped praises on the Chinese company's continued resilience against White House tirades.
Most of the consumers said they believe in Huawei's integrity as a global tech behemoth and they are confident that the firm will overcome all trials that it is faced with.
