Huawei is not enough, there are Chinese spies everywhere

After targeting Huawei as the source of all its woes, the US defence community is now worried about China Telecom.

A group of US security agencies including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, Defense, State, Commerce and the US Trade Representative is urging the Federal Communications Commission to revoke China Telecom’s permission to operate in the country.

The filing claims that there are “substantial and unacceptable national security and law enforcement risks” associated with China Telecom’s access to the US telecommunications network.

Like most of the US’s allegations on China, the comment comes with absolutely no evidence of illegally and appears to come from the ample collective gut of the US security group.

Like Huawei, China Telecom is bemused by the allegations and “unequivocally” denies the allegations, a representative said in an email.

Representative, Ge Yu said: “The company has always been extremely cooperative and transparent with regulators. In many instances, we have gone beyond what has been requested to demonstrate how our business operates and serves our customers following the highest international standards.”
