Huawei Technologies Co. is asking the Federal Trade Commission for help as the Chinese telecommunications equipment maker fights limits on its access to U.S. markets.
Restrictions put in place over security concerns harm consumers “who would otherwise benefit from more robust competition,” Huawei said in an Aug. 20 filing at the trade commission that also was entered Aug. 27 into the record at the Federal Communications Commission. It said Huawei doesn’t pose a heightened security risk.
