As countries around the world move to ban Huawei, the Rural Wireless Association said that it believes fully a fourth of its membership currently uses equipment from Chinese suppliers like Huawei and ZTE.

RWA’s statement was contained in the association’s filing with the FCC this week urging the agency not to ban Huawei and ZTE from the U.S. market. For its part, Huawei argued in its own filing this week that countries including the United States should embark on a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy rather than banning select providers from competing for carriers’ business. “Other countries that adopt a holistic approach to cybersecurity have far less concern, if any, about suppliers such as Huawei—and, resultantly, can reap the benefits of Huawei’s sophisticated technology, dedication to innovation, international presence, and ability to facilitate 5G deployment,” the company wrote.

The ongoing debate over Huawei’s business in the United States is particularly noteworthy given developments in recent weeks regarding the Chinese company and China’s global trade situation.

Specifically, Huawei’s CFO—the daughter of the company’s founder—was arrested in Canada last week due to requests from U.S. officials, who are looking to extradite Meng Wanzhou to the United States as part of an investigation into Huawei’s alleged use of the global banking system to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran. Yesterday, Meng’s attorneys reportedly worked to convince a Canadian judge that the executive should be released from jail because she wouldn’t try to escape the country as the extradition process moves forward.
