BARCELONA, SPAIN - FEBRUARY 28: A logo sits illuminated outside the Huawei booth at the SK telecom booth on day 1 of the GSMA Mobile World Congress on February 28, 2022 in Barcelona, Spain.
According to a report by CNN, the FBI found something while investigating Huawei's cell towers and their locations in the country's rural areas, and it presented a shocking pattern for all. Despite the non-profitable sites where the cell towers were erected, it also is strategic for the company that it can intercept US military communications in proximity.

Additionally, the report said that it has the capability to intercept US nuclear arsenal communications in different military bases, something that is a massive dispute for the country's military operations. The federal agencies kept tabs on Chinese land purchases because of a previous incident where it planned to build a pagoda in Washington, two miles from the Capitol.
It is stinking as something that may be a form of espionage, as sources believe.

The US 'Rip and Replace' Program to Remove Huawai's Towers?
According to The Verge, the United States has a "rip and replace" focus on Huawei's technology in the country, something that got flagged down before. However, upon learning of new development in the case, it sheds some light on the issue and may be why it needs to continue removing its services and features from the country.
Huawei and the United States
Huawei and the US do not have a good relationship since it last barred the company from using its technology for its releases, which also changed a massive thing from its devices for the world. The United States' sanction against the company lives on despite a change in the government's administration, with President Joe Biden in the seat.
However, it is not only in the US that Huawei is facing a ban, especially as there are beliefs that the company brings a security risk to Canada amidst the earlier 5G rollout for the country. These are some reasons regarding Huawei's concern as a tech company operating in different regions, something which the countries raise massive concerns.
Now, there is a belief that Huawei's cell towers have the capability of intercepting US military communications, and the country is not taking this lightly. Now, it is a massive dispute on Huawei's cell towers that the Chinese company placed near US military bases in the country's rural areas, something that may face removal soon from the federal agency.
