US Congress Rules Huawei a 'Security Threat'

dgharmon writes with the lead from a story in the Brisbane Time: "Chinese telecom company Huawei poses a security threat to the United States and should be barred from US contracts and acquisitions, a yearlong congressional investigation has concluded. A draft of a report by the House Intelligence Committee said Huawei and another Chinese telecom, ZTE, 'cannot be trusted' to be free of influence from Beijing and could be used to undermine U.S. security."

Re:Same applies to US

You forgot Cisco, who is so in-bed with the US government that they caused an ex-Cisco employee to be arrested [slashdot.org] while sitting in a Canadian court room. Glass houses, me thinks.

Lobbying

Hauwei should have started lobbying harder sooner. They spent over 800 million this year but only 200 million last year. Well, if they keep it up things will turn around. Gotta grease those palms in DC to get what you want.

This story was on "60 Minutes" last night

60 Minutes covered this story [cbsnews.com] on Sunday night. The House Intelligence Committee is right to have suspicions of Huawei.

I believe the video is the same that aired on TV.
