Huawei has taken out full-page commercials in New Zealand newspapers that compare banning the company from 5G networks to the sport of rugby without the country's famous team.

"5G without Huawei is like rugby without New Zealand," the ad says, warning that "without Huawei, New Zealand will miss out on the most advanced 5G technology available, and consumers may end up paying more for it."

The ad appeared in newspapers and on websites including leading media outlets Stuff.co.nz and The New Zealand Herald this week.

New Zealand's national rugby team the "All Blacks" have held an 89 percent win record since the 2011 World Cup, and have won the World Cup twice.

New Zealand's intelligence agency rejected the Chinese telecoms giant's bid in November to provide equipment for the nation's 5G network, citing national security concerns. Several international governments have flagged concerns on including Chinese equipment in 5G rollouts which they say would enable Chinese espionage. Huawei and others have repeatedly denied the claims.

A spokesperson for Huawei was not immediately available for comment, but the company previously told CNBC: "We see no rational reason to exclude Huawei from building the 5G infrastructure in any country in the world. Any exclusion of a supplier in a market with few suppliers usually results in poorer quality at higher prices."


Huawei's exclusion from 5G infrastructure in New Zealand came after security allies Australia and the U.S. banned the firm from their domestic networks. The U.K. is also reportedlyconsidering the tech firm's role in its 5G rollout, and the German government held a meeting in January to assess risks posed by the company.

Superfast 5G mobile internet is expected to revolutionize the digital economy by enabling new technologies such as self-driving cars and the internet of things.

Despite growing international restrictions, Huawei secured 26 5G contracts last year, making it the largest 5G vendor in the world, according to Reuters.

Very desperate. I mean becoming the second largest smartphone maker and hitting 100 billion dollars in revenue has certainly hit Huawei hard.

Are you even American, you above everyone else should know nations like China and America are pretty much a world on their own. As long as they can secure their own market, they don't necessarily need the world. The rest of the world is more of a cherry.

I'm not even a fan of their product, but if you want Huawei to fall, you need China to fall. But good news for you, there's 4 threads in my recommended list that suggest just that.

If Apple started running full page advertisements on Chinese news sites pleading with people to buy iPhones there would be a thread here on PDF going on endlessly for more than 2 weeks with over 300 Chinese member replies.

I suggest you suck it up for once. This thread will never get close to that.

So Facebook, Google, and more are doing what exactly? What was Zuckerberg running in Beijing? That was terrible air even by Chinese standard. China did not exclude iPhone, why would Apple do this. Though Apple still did stuff in the background when it was sued.

As to this thread not being big, that's because you are one of one person in America that cares. If this is youtube, reddit or something, lets see if what happens.

The thread on China killed the musician got front page coverage, when it was proven false 8 people commented on Reddit. Platform matters.

So take your own advice, suck it up.

why not wait a bit while the .EU or .US or Canada has one finished enough to be considered worthy of sales in the region specified in the opening post of this thread, instead?

exiting thread. reason : working on my civilian business projects.

Is Apple under the threat from Chinese government global crusade to block and ban that company everywhere in the world?

As long as Huawei can get a huge cash flow to exist and expand, Its fine for Huawei.

From this case, Huawei should work harder to invent and develop new technologies.

"It's not helping," the government minister Andrew Little who oversees intelligence services, told reporters.

"They can bark as long as they like, but we have decisions to make about New Zealand's national security interests. That's the only thing upon which we will make a decision."
