As more US Government agencies are moving to cloud services, I am fine with Huawei not working on cloud hardware. Personally I think it's a mistake to put any sensitive information on a cloud where the computer in question is not in your direct hands and uses a common framework which is closed source & open API. This leads to API hacks for exploitation.

I raised my concerns back with Microsoft first released Azure to the public in 2009. And look at all the compromised unencrypted AWS bucket server databases we have these days. (Google and Azure are open to these types of problems with poor coding on an open API)

Also it is extremely easy to hide backdoors into hardware which are impossible to detect until it's too late.
