Washington sees no distinction between Huawei and Beijing, top US cybersecurity official says

Robert Strayer, a top United States official in charge of cybersecurity, on Thursday said Washington did not see a distinction between Chinese technology giant Huawei and China’s government.

Thursday’s speech in Britain is the latest push by the Trump administration to warn world leaders against adopting 5G technology by Huawei, the world’s second-largest smartphone maker and 5G leader, in their infrastructure. China's ambassador in London then encouraged Britain to resist pressure from other nations, adding Huawei had a “good track record on security”.

US Huawei problem goes far beyond trade, security official saysBut “US government officials have raised valid concerns over the transparency of a company that plays such a pivotal role globally in mobile infrastructure.” “We believe there are mechanisms that can be put in place to provide assurance to the US government, something similar to risk mitigation programmes that European companies such as Nokia and Ericsson have in place with the US,” Purdy said.

Australian government advised India to ban Huawei from 5G“Huawei employees have been complicit in exporting the surveillance state to other countries around the world,” Strayer said.
