U.S. intelligence officials handed the German government evidence that telecom equipment maker Huawei has worked with Chinese security agencies in the past, local newspaper Handelsblatt reported Wednesday.
The paper reported it saw a classified document from the German foreign service that said “the trustworthiness of Chinese companies cannot be ensured in the context of the security requirements for the rollout of 5G networks.”
The document of the foreign service referred to the evidence as a “smoking gun,” according to the paper, which did not detail the nature of the evidence provided to German officials.
A spokesperson for Huawei said it “welcomes genuine scrutiny based on facts, not on unsubstantiated allegations. We have been hearing allegations about so called smoking guns for decades. Facts speak louder than wordRead More – Source
