Chinese companies apparently have a covert capability to remotely
access communications technology sold to the United States and other
Western countries and could “disable a country’s telecommunications
infrastructure before a military engagement,” according to former and
current intelligence sources cited ina report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
The Chinese also have the ability to exploit networks “to enable
China to continue to steal technology and trade secrets,” according to
the open source intelligence company Lignet, which is comprised of
former U.S. intelligence analysts.
The issue centers on the Chinese firm Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.,
which U.S. intelligence sources say has direct links to the Chinese
government and the People’s Liberation Army, or PLA. These sources
assert that Huawei and other Chinese telecommunications firms such as
ZTE Corp. have “electronic backdoors” to telecommunications technology
sold to the U.S. and other countries.
