Chinese telecom companies Huawei, ZTE under investigation by Indian intelligence agencies.
by C. Custer
[TechInAsia.com]
On Monday, the US Department of Defense released a report that once again points the finger at China for hacking and other forms of digital data theft that pose a threat to American public and military interests. And although the report doesnt mention Chinese telecom companies Huawei and ZTE by name, it apparently spooked Indian intelligence authorities enough that Indian intelligence agencies are now undertaking a thorough investigation of the Chinese companies.
According to the Hindustan Times, Indian intelligence has set up a testing facility in Bangalore and plans to run Huawei and ZTE equipment through the ringer.
This isnt the first time Huawei and ZTE have found themselves in the sights of Indian authorities. Last year, India considered investigations into the telecoms, and earlier this year both were denied domestic telecom status in the country over lingering security concerns.
Concerns about Huawei and ZTE stem from their apparent ties with the Chinese government and military. Huawei, for example, was founded by a former military officer and maintains a Chinese Communist Party office within its corporate headquarters.
