Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Bill Plummer, spokesman for Huawei Technologies Co., talks about the company's response to a House Intelligence Committee report that finds Huawei and ZTE Corp., China's two largest phone-equipment makers, provide opportunities for Chinese intelligence services to tamper with U.S. telecommunications networks for spying. Plummer speaks with Pimm Fox on Bloomberg Television's "Taking Stock." (Source: Bloomberg)
“This puts an established intelligence community stamp on the idea that these are companies that pose a potential serious threat,” Stewart Baker, a former U.S. Homeland Security (http://topics.bloomberg.com/homeland-security/) Department official, said. “They are going to be treated more harshly than other multinationals for the foreseeable future.”
The House Intelligence Committee yesterday urged U.S. companies to steer clear of Huawei and ZTE Corp. (763) (http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/763:HK), citing concerns that the Chinese government could install malicious hardware or software in U.S. telecommunications networks.
Despite a lobbying and public-relations push by Huawei, the report singled out China (http://topics.bloomberg.com/china/)’s biggest phone-equipment manufacturer for particular attention, saying a yearlong probe turned up allegations of bribery, corruption and other illegal behavior that would be referred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (http://topics.bloomberg.com/federal-bureau-of-investigation/) and other government agencies.
