 In a draft letter to Cabinet Secretary Mark Sedwill, seen by the BBC, operators will urge the government to clarify its position over Huawei.

The letter asks for an urgent meeting between industry leaders and the government to discuss their concerns.

Operators say they can't invest in infrastructure while uncertainty over the use of Chinese technology persists.

The companies are planning to send the letter to government as soon as this week.

ABC reports that the top US diplomat to Australia says they are working on a counter offer following the announcement by the PNG Government to engage Huawei to build the domestic network.

U.S. Charge d’Affaires James Caruso told ABC radio the whole idea is to give alternatives and not to say ‘Don’t do business with China.’

He said it’s up to the US to be competitive.”

China’s increasing presence in PNG and the Pacific has raised eyebrows with the US now taking notice.

China’s largest mobile device manufacturer, Huawei (pronounced "Wah-way”), is now boasting a newly-launched water and dust resistant flagship phone that includes mobile artificial intelligence (AI) processor and dual-lens camera for photo enthusiasts, and many more!

Featuring the world's first Kirin AI processor, the Huawei Mate 10 was recently launched in Germany and will be available in Papua New Guinea in November, says Michael Townsley, Huawei’s director consumer business group.

The Company in a statement denounce the allegations stating that they have never never given, implied, nor promised any political donations in relation to this project.

“As a global business entity, Huawei does not involve itself in politics.

“Huawei forbids all of its global subsidiaries from making any form of political donation, including in places where this practice is legal.

“Cyber security remains a top priority at Huawei,’’ said Brent Hooley, Huawei Australia’s Media Relations officer.

The successor of the previous generation brings more innovations and exciting features, just like the Huawei P10.

The Huawei P10 offers a similar, if not the same, 1080p IPS-NEO LCD touchscreen display with the Huawei P9, however, the screen size is 0.1-inch smaller.

On the other note, the top protective glass is the fifth generation Corning Gorilla, making it stronger and more resistant to scratches.

A Chinese court in Quanzhou has ordered the Galaxy S8-maker to pay 80m yuan ($11.6m; £9.3m) to Huawei for infringing the firm's smartphone cellular technologies.

The two are also suing each other over patents in other courts.

Huawei's victory was tempered, however, by news that it could face a sales ban in the UK.

Huawei launched the legal action against Samsung last May and has subsequently followed with other claims filed in its home city of Shenzhen and California, covering more than 10 patents.

Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei met with Prime Minister Bill English this week to discuss the company's expansion across New Zealand, with Ren saying Huawei is interested by the country's attitudes towards trade, as well as the opportunities for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity

"New Zealand's open and fair trade environment, and its emphasis on developing new technology, facilitates our ongoing commitment," Ren said.

The firm reported 245.5bn yuan ($37bn, £28bn) in revenues, up from 175.6bn yuan for the same period last year.

It did not disclose its net profit but said the operating margin was 12%, down from 18% in the first half of 2015.

Huawei is the third-biggest smartphone vendor in the world behind Samsung and Apple and one of the world's largest telecommunications firms.

Originally known for its low-cost smartphones, Huawei has now moved into higher-end models.

The company said it had seen steady growth across all its business sectors.

The company showed off the new prototypes in a video presentation at the 56th Battery Symposium in Japan last week, ZDNet reports.
