Chinese tech giant Huawei has filed a motion with US court trying to overturn the ban on its products, arguing that the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act illegally targeted the company in violation of due process.


The NDAA, used by the Donald Trump administration to ban Huawei's technology from competing in US market place directly targets the Chinese telecommunications equipment company “without opportunity for rebuttal or escape,” Song Liuping, the firm’s chief legal officer said in a statement issued on Monday, ahead of Tuesday’s filing.


“The law provides Huawei with no opportunity to rebut the accusations, to present evidence in its defense, or to avail itself of other procedures that impartial adjudicators provide to ensure a fair search for the truth,” Liu said. “The ban is a quintessential bill of attainder and a violation of due process.”
