Huawei Staff Has Close Ties To China's Military, New Reports Say
12 Jul 2019

Top Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies experiences new scrutiny in latest reports that allege past and present links to the country's military. The company denies these allegations, which come as countries in Europe and elsewhere consider blocking its products from their next-generation 5G wireless networks for security reasons amid a pressure campaign by the U.S.
The recent reports are believed to harden the U.S. stance against the company. President Donald Trump signaled that Washington could actually ease trade restrictions on Huawei following his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping last month. But both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have slammed the idea.
A research by Christopher Balding, an associate professor at Fulbright University Vietnam, expressed clear ties to the Chinese state, the People's Liberation Army and intelligence agencies among Huawei employees.
Resumes of the company's staffers spotted online display at least three such links, the study said. One Huawei software engineer was employed by the military and teaching at China's National Defense University.
Huawei has reacted that it keeps up with stern standards when choosing former military or government workers, requiring such candidates to submit documentation showing they ended that relationship. The company said there is no way to determine the authenticity of the resumes.
The release of the study follows a report by Bloomberg in late June that a number of Huawei employees have collaborated with China's military on more than 10 projects in the past decade, including on artificial intelligence and wireless communications. Huawei also rejected that report, expressing it never works with military affiliates on research and development.
Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei once served as an engineer in China's military. The U.S. government believes the company's products most likely have back doors that enable the Chinese military to steal information, inspite of Huawei's insistence that it would not harm clients.
