IEEE Bans Huawei From Peer-Reviewing Papers, Chinese Scientists Quit To Protest

New submitter AntiBrainWasher writes: Running away from the fear of legal/political persecution, the New York City-based Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) told editors of its roughly 200 journals yesterday that it feared 'severe legal implications' from continuing to use Huawei scientists as reviewers in vetting technical papers. They can continue to serve on IEEE editorial boards, according to the memo, but 'cannot handle any papers' until the sanctions are lifted. The IEEE ban has sparked outrage among Chinese scientists on social media. 'I joined IEEE as a Ph.D. student because it is recognized as an International academic platform in electronics engineering,' wrote Haixia (Alice) Zhang of Peking University in Beijing in a letter to IEEE leadership. 'But this message is challenging my professional integrity. I have decided to quit the editorial boards [of two IEEE journals] until it restores our common professional integrity.'

Meanwhile, the SD and Wi-Fi Alliance reinstated Huawei as a member, less than a week after they quietly removed the company from its membership list. Despite the lack of evidences, U.S. officials have alleged that the Chinese government could use equipment manufactured by Huawei, which is a global supplier of cellphones and wireless data networks, to spy on users or disrupt critical infrastructure, similar to what the NSA has done.
