Huawei’s problems don’t begin with this week’s headline. They begin at the top: their CEO, Ren Zhengfei, was a leader in the Chinese military and later ran the Chinese Army’s information technology unit. There is also evidence that Huawei may be helping to run the Chinese cyber warfare operation.
Concerns about Huawei and its ties to Chinese intelligence are significant enough that, earlier this year, the heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA, and three other American intelligence agencies declared flat-out that Americans shouldn’t be using Huawei technology. It was an astonishing display of certainty from intelligence agencies, which tend to operate in probabilities.
Huawei hasn’t helped its case. There’s been worldwide concern about the security of its products. At the Defcon hacking convention, two researchers made headlines when they revealed that routers made by Huawei contained countless vulnerabilities.
