Chinese tech giant Huawei is launching a U.S. court challenge to a law that labels the company a security risk and would limit its access to the American market for telecom equipment. Huawei, China's first global tech brand, is at the centre of U.S.-Chinese tensions over technology competition and cyber-spying. The United States accounts for 20 to 25 per cent of the global market for computer and telecom technology. It says it supplies 45 of the world's top 50 phone companies and has contracts with 30 carriers to test 5G wireless technology. Some European officials and others cite a Chinese security law that requires companies to co-operate with intelligence agencies.
