A while back Indian govt barred its state telecom carrier (BSNL) to source equipment from Huawei for similar concerns. I thought they were paranoid at the time.

A while back Indian govt barred its state telecom carrier (BSNL) to source equipment from Huawei for similar concerns. I thought they were paranoid at the time. Looks like they had a valid point.
- askar_yu 14y agoWhile they had a valid point, Huawei != ZTE. ZTE is partly state-owned, but Huawei is not, it's all privately owned. PS: http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertolsen/2011/02/24/huaweis-open-letter-to-u-s-investigators/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertolsen/2011/02/24/huaweis-o...
- hackermom 14y agoThat's no guarantee for anything. It's already out in the open that Huawei has close ties to the Chinese government and military. The point OP is trying to make is that Chinese telecom cannot be trusted as the Chinese government is actively indulging in systematic deployment of espionage frameworks on this level - by infiltration through business.
