Bradford Lee Smith (born January 17, 1959) is an American attorney and technology executive currently serving as President of Microsoft, concurrently serving as chief legal officer.
Brad Smith says the US government should provide evidence for cutting off the Chinese company from US technology.
Smith said the current restrictions on Huawei, the world's second-largest smartphone maker, are wrong
Smith told Bloomberg Businessweek that the ban shouldn't be imposed without a "sound basis in fact, logic, and the rule of law".
The official line from the Whitehouse is that Huawei is a genuine national security threat to the US. However, Smith said the US government has shown Microsoft – which supplies Windows 10 for Huawei PCs – no evidence to back up the current stance.
"Oftentimes, what we get in response is, 'Well, if you knew what we knew, you would agree with us'," he said. "And our answer is, 'Great, show us what you know so we can decide for ourselves. That's the way this country works'."
"To tell a tech company that it can sell products, but not buy an operating system or chips, is like telling a hotel company that it can open its doors, but not put beds in its hotel rooms or food in its restaurant. Either way, you put the survival of that company at risk."
