According to reports on Saturday, the CIA has shared evidence with agencies across the Five Eyes that Huawei has received funding from China's military and state intelligence. If true, this collapses the company's defense against Washington's claims of collusion and throws the battle wide open.
In the battle between Washington and Huawei, there has long been the taunt from Shenzhen that U.S. officials have failed to produce any evidence of actual collusion between the telecom equipment giant and the Chinese state. Has that now changed?that such evidence exists, it has just not been openly published. According to the newspaper's U.K. source, Huawei
The CIA has now directly refuted this. If true, the equipment maker taking funding from the Chinese military and state security machine would explode every defense offered through this long-running campaign to protest their innocence.It has always been clear that Washington expected a different level of collaboration from its closest 'Five Eyes' allies than its broader sets of friends, and the claims that"the U.S.
that it"continued to identify concerning issues in Huawei’s approach to software development bringing significantly increased risk to U.K. operators."can only provide limited assurance that all risks to U.K. national security from Huawei’s involvement in the UK’s critical networks can be sufficiently mitigated long-term," would likely want the equipment prohibited or seriously limited. The country's networks, as elsewhere, do not.
Huawei has always denied any claims of funding from Beijing or working to aid the objectives of China's state intelligence apparatus, and so this could be the most serious allegation yet leveled against the company.U.K. lawmakers, including Prime Minister Theresa May, are expected to debate Huawei at the country's National Security Council in the coming days. Senior politicians are split as to how best to proceed.
