Exactly. The Chinese version of Cisco's CALEA code with different access 
methods would be pretty threatening in general. Not saying that they 
have one, did one, or will... but its a security risk even before you 
show intent on the part of Huawei. Maybe the Indian gov't is going to 
request the source to Huawei's code? I remember Germany or Russia 
requesting it of Microsoft for Windows and Microsoft complied.
