There is a new hype to already rough relationships between Chinese tech giant Huawei and the United States.
On 11 February “The Wall Street Journal”, bring up the news in which, the United States pointed out Huawei for using illegal means to access mobile networks around the world.
This is not the first time such news has come out from the United States. In 2019, the US has banned the company due to similar concerns. The US government has consistently suspected Huawei over security issues. Once again, they say, the Chinese mobile company is a security threat for the region and all the necessary actions need to be taken.
United States officials claim that Huawei has the capability to secretly access mobile network around the world. Moreover, the Chinese tech giant has earned this ability since a decade ago.US officials claim that Huawei used, the legal interception provided only for the law enforcement agencies, to get access to different mobile networks around the world.
US Official`s Allegations
Advisor to national security Robert O`Brien says, “We have evidence that Huawei has the secret ability to access sensitive and personal information in the systems it manages and sells around the world”. This allegation is very critical among all the allegations made so far on Huawei by US officials.
Having access to personal and security information is one thing and misusing it is another thing, a more serious one. If US officials have proof to substantiate these allegations, things may go very wrong for the Chinese tech giant. However, so far, there is no evidence provided about the countries suffered by this security breach.
Huawei Officials Response
In response to these allegations, Huawei has recorded its stance. The Huawei officials have released their statement they said, “We categorically reject these latest allegations. Again, baseless accusations are repeated without providing any kind of concrete evidence”.
