Inside Huawei

4-9-2019   The FBI stated in a security seminar for corporate security officials last year that both Huawei and another company, ZTE, appear to be private companies but are reliant on the Chinese government for both resources and funding.
  Also, the FBI stated that Huawei and ZTE are involved in economic espionage for Beijing.  The companies are used to advance national objectives such as assisting Chinese intelligence and security services in massive domestic electronic surveillance programs targeting Chinese citizens. The companies also are part of foreign influence operations aimed at reducing foreign resistance to China's drive for global supremacy.    https://freebeacon.com/national-security/senior-obama-cyber-official-lobbying-for-china/

3-6-19  In January the U.S. government unveiled a 13-count indictment against Huawei, two affiliates and Meng, alleging bank and wire fraud.  It also charged the company with violating U.S. sanctions on Iran.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/canada-to-hold-first-hearing-in-huawei-extradition-case/2019/03/06/ab5a0eee-3f7d-11e9-85ad-779ef05fd9d8_story.html?utm_term=.6ce5a70b0510

2-13-19   A separate indictment unsealed the same day describes how “Huawei intentionally conspired to steal the intellectual property of an American company in an attempt to undermine the free and fair global marketplace,” according to FBI Director Christopher Wray. The indictment details a directed espionage campaign complete with bonuses for employees who stole valuable trade secrets. This is not the first time the company has been accused of intellectual property theft.  In 2004, Huawei settled claims for misappropriating and copying Cisco’s source code.  Huawei settled another case brought by Motorola in 2011.   https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2019/02/coordinated-actions-against-huawei-are-cyber-deterrence-done-right/154870/

1-29-19  According to the indictment, Huawei employees violated confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with T-Mobile beginning in 2012 when its employees took photos, gathered measurements, and even stole a piece of T-Mobile's testing robot, dubbed "Tappy."  The stolen information was sent back to Huawei by the employees through an encrypted email address, according to the indictment. https://www.businessinsider.com/huawei-indictment-trade-secrets-2019-1?r=US&IR=T

12-20-2018   The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged two Chinese nationals with being part of a decade-long, government-sponsored global hacking campaign that included the alleged theft of information from 45 US tech companies and government agencies, including NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Goddard Space Flight Center....Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong were part of a Chinese hacking group known in the cyber security community as Advanced Persistent Threat 10, or APT10,  https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/20/18150275/chinese-hackers-stealing-data-nasa-ibm-charged

3-5-29  BRUSSELS — Chinese tech company Huawei on Tuesday opened a cybersecurity lab in Brussels, the heart of the European Union, as it tries to win over government leaders and fight back U.S. allegations that its equipment poses a national security risk.
Company executives inaugurated the Huawei Cyber Security Transparency Centre, which will allow the wireless companies that are its customers to review the source code running its network gear.
The launch comes amid a standoff between the U.S. and China over Huawei Technologies, the world’s biggest maker of telecom infrastructure for new high-speed 5G networks.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/huawei-opens-brussels-security-lab-in-bid-to-reassure-eu/2019/03/05/a91b9ec8-3f2c-11e9-85ad-779ef05fd9d8_story.html?utm_term=.d394d218b433

1-21-19  In his analysis of Huawei’s business model, Chinese economist Wang Shuangyi came to the conclusion that the massive tech company serves as a “gan si dui,” or “dare to die” kamikaze unit in Beijing’s strategy to dominate markets around the world.
“The basic business model of Huawei can be summed up as a sweatshop [that works as] the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘dare to die unit’ [in a global] Ponzi scheme,” Wang wrote in the Dec. 20, 2018, article.  (See below here)
Wang used the term “dare to die” as a reference to the company’s extreme work environment, as well as its special role in the Chinese regime’s economic ambitions. Being, at least on paper, a privately owned business, Huawei can carry out certain activities that would be too risky or diplomatically inappropriate for a Chinese state firm.
“Under the banner of patriotism and localization, Huawei and [other Chinese companies] copied, plagiarized, and stole” technology from foreign entities, Wang said.  They reverse-engineered foreign technology and “pushed the foreigner suppliers out of China.”
“Then, using their profits from the Chinese market and different types of subsidies from China, they exercise active domination in overseas markets,” Wang said.  The key to this, he says, is that Huawei’s products come with backdoors that provide a channel for Chinese regime hackers.
Huawei is the Communist Party’s “spear,” Wang said.  “It carries the responsibility for comprehensively purchasing and stealing [foreign] technology.”   Wang predicts that as the pernicious nature of the Huawei model becomes more apparent to foreign markets and governments, it will face increasing backlash for its actions. ...
In the first phase, during the 2000s, Huawei copied the software of Cisco, an American multinational technology conglomerate, and sold its system for less than half the original price.  Cisco sued Huawei, but strong CCP regime backing meant that the U.S. company could hardly succeed in court.  Meanwhile, Chinese propaganda promoted Huawei as a patriotic enterprise, and claimed that using Huawei’s products was patriotic.  https://www.theepochtimes.com/huaweis-dare-to-die-business-model_2774249.html
