“Huawei spied for China” – The Financial Times

From a report in The Financial Times, 18 July 2013:

Western intelligence agencies believe that Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant, has spied on behalf of Beijing, an incendiary claim made by one of the US’s most experienced espionage officers.

Michael Hayden, who headed the National Security Agency, the electronic eavesdropping body, and the CIA over nine years until 2008, said “at a minimum” Huawei shared with the Chinese state “intimate and extensive knowledge of the foreign telecommunications systems it is involved in.”
