Chinese telecom giant Huawei made public one of its latest lawful interception patents at the end of March, raising concern over personal data and privacy.  A former Huawei engineer told The Epoch Times that such a practice is nothing new in the company and explained why the practice has now been declassified.

On March 30, Huawei disclosed a patent titled “A method, gateway device, system, and storage medium for lawful interception,” with announcement number CN110326278B and an application date of Feb. 28, 2017.
