Telecoms company Huawei Technologies is part of China's surveillance state, complicit in human rights abuses, a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday, as Washington renewed pressure on Europe to ban the company from fifth-generation (5G) networks.
Huawei [HWT.UL] is “an arm of the CCP surveillance state and a tool for human rights abuse,” Krach told a German Marshall Fund think-tank event, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.
Krach, who said he had held talks with German executives and officials, linked Huawei to Beijing’s security crackdown in Hong Kong and the repression of China’s Uighur Muslims, though he did not provide any evidence during his online address. “Untrusted, high-risk vendors like Huawei and ZTE provide the CCP’s authoritarian government the capacity to disrupt or weaponise critical applications in infrastructure or provide technological advances to China’s military forces,” Krach said.
