Critics accuse Huawei, the Chinese state-controlled. The Chinese secret service, the law allows Beijing to force the company to release information. What’s the allegations?
Huawei, the telecommunications giant from the people’s Republic of China, its customer data, including security-relevant information from abroad, the Chinese government needs?
Not according to Huawei’s founder and CEO, Ren Zhengfei: His organization “would definitely say no, if the Chinese government requires foreign customers ‘data”. Also, Huawei’s Vice-chief in Germany, David Wang Chengdong told the DW, Huawei got in its 30-year history, never has such a requirement of “any government”. He was confident that in the future “excellent safety records”.
Access by law?
The US can’t listen to them: In Public, the US Vice-President Mike Pence called on the Munich security conference, Huawei as a threat: Because Chinese laws would require that Beijing’s messages are able to access services, to customer data, stored in Huawei’s technologies or edited.
Is meant by China’s state news service law, which was to adopt in 2017. Under article 7 it says: “All the institutions and citizens are obliged to support the work of the intelligence services and to provide cooperation.” A set of Huawei undoing.
The back cover provides Huawei the Chinese government itself. In Munich, Politburo member Yang Jiechi dismissed the allegations of Pence decided. None of the Chinese law of companies, “backdoor to install programs” or to collect foreign intelligence. Beijing have prompted Chinese companies never violate abroad would be contrary to local law. And in the future, China would do the never.
This statement is in contradiction to the new legislation? “No,” says Wang from Huawei Germany, DW. “Because in the act is in addition to the well-known article 7 in article 8, the legitimate rights of institutions and citizens need to be protected by the intelligence services and respected. We need to interpret articles 7 and 8 in the connection: You must not, therefore, collect data in violation of the law.”
“Common Method”
Beijing fights back: A spokesman for the Chinese foreign Ministry recently declared that the duty of Cooperation for institutions and individuals is a “common method abroad”, also in the USA and Germany.
So it was through the publications of Edward Snowden that the U.S. intelligence National Security Agency (NSA) backdoors in devices, the American network equipment manufacturer Cisco used to monitor data and phone calls. Also, the mobile phone of the German Kanzerin Angela Merkel was bugged by the NSA.
Similarly, telecommunications providers are subject in Germany due to the Federal intelligence service act, to allow Monitoring and recording.
It was a question at the end of a Trust, says Wang from Huawei Germany. “If you don’t want to trust Huawei, in spite of our transparency efforts, we can’t help it.”
