The U.S. intelligence committee has turned over to the FBI evidence of possible bribery and corruption by Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei, CBC News has learned.
The U.S. intelligence committee released a scathing report Monday about the security risks of dealing with China's two leading telecommunications firms, Huawei and ZTE.
Mike Rogers, the head of the committee, is warning that Huawei, now operating in Canada, is a threat to national security north of the border too, the CBC's Greg Weston reported. Rogers urged Canadian companies not to work with Huawei because the two countries' telecommunications systems are so integrated that it puts the U.S. at risk.
The world’s second-largest telecommunications equipment supplier, Huawei is already providing high-speed networks for Bell Canada, Telus, SaskTel and Wind Mobile – deals that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government has openly applauded.
