Australia : China used Huawei in espionage, says report

Canberra, Nov 4 (UNI) The Australian officials have received secret report from the intelligence services claiming that China used its indigenous telecommunication giant Huawei to infiltrate a foreign network.

Huawei has been banned from any involvement in building the new 5G network in Australia ­because of security fears but Chin­ese officials have urged the government to rethink the decision, reports The Weekend Australian.

“I am aware of intelligence that indicates that certain high-risk vendors have been asked for ­assistance by foreign intelligence services,’’ the source said.
