U.S. Panel Calls 2 Chinese firms Huawei Technologies and ZTE Inc. National Threat to USA

USA
WASHINGTON
Monday

The report was presented by Representative Mike Rogers, Republican of Michigan, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and Representative C. A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the committee.

The House Intelligence Committee recommended that American companies should be blocked from carrying out mergers and acquisitions involving two Chinese telecommunications firms, saying their equipment could be used for spying in the United States.

After the yearlong investigation US panel recommended that
United States government should not use equipment from the companies, the giant Huawei Technologies and ZTE Inc., and that American companies should find alternative suppliers as well.

The report said both two companies are “national security threat” to the United States, saying that the committee had obtained internal documents from former employees of Huawei that show it supplies services to a “cyber warfare” unit in the People’s Liberation Army.


Lets hope Indian government and Indian Army, Air force and Navy will do something about after this report in the interest of India.
