The United States increases pressure on Australia: no HUAWEI equipment is used to build 5G network
China's HUAWEI company has entered a list of equipment supplier candidates for the Australian telecom operators to build 5G networks, which has triggered concerns and dissatisfaction in the United States. Not long ago, officials such as the U. S. Department of state security pressed Australia.
According to the Australian financial review website reported that the United States continues to exert greater pressure on Australia, even if the use of HUAWEI networking equipment, will affect the security cooperation between Australia and the United states.
According to reports, the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee responsible for the Republican congressman Conaway (Michael Conaway) said recently, including China Telecom such as HUAWEI and ZTE equipment manufacturer, will give the U.S. government and other national intelligence cooperation (including Australia) communication, resulting in serious danger to national security".
Conaway on the "Australian Financial Review" said: "due to the high level of intelligence between the" five eye alliance "countries sharing, I worry about HUAWEI or ZTE on any member of our coordination and cooperation, will cause serious danger, and the national security of the United states."
The five eye alliance is the core of intelligence sharing and monitoring alliance in the US, including five countries in the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But in fact, telecom operators in Britain, Canada and other countries use HUAWEI equipment to build communication networks.
In the house of representatives of the United States, Conaway had previously submitted a bill to prevent HUAWEI from getting a contract from the US government.
Last week, HUAWEI also refuted rumors from abroad that the so-called "China's future will use HUAWEI's telecommunications equipment" to get information, or to damage other countries' economies or security.
Australian media point out that the dispute about HUAWEI will put Australian Prime Minister Turnbull and the government in a dilemma. Turnbull needs not only to maintain the relationship between the first security alliance and the United States, but also to maintain the relationship with the largest Australian trading partner.
According to the report before, HUAWEI has entered the list of candidates in parts of Australia telecom operators 5G network equipment providers, but the operator has not yet announced the final outcome of the tender, HUAWEI has not been clear orders for equipment or construction contract.
Australian interior minister Peter Dutton will also face a key decision whether to intervene in the private telecom market, and "command" Wo Dafeng, Telstra and other operators can use HUAWEI's equipment and technology to build 5G network.
HUAWEI, like Finland NOKIA and Swedish Ericsson, is one of the world's three largest telecommunications equipment giants. HUAWEI has built a communication network for local telecom companies in a large number of countries, and HUAWEI is also actively seeking 5G networks and equipment orders.
Previously, the former White House security officials, the field of Internet diplomacy officer Christopher Painter has said, in the 5G equipment supplier selection, governments need to conduct a "risk management", the need to consider the potential risks of 5G network, the potential participants, and whether the risk can be minimized.
Painter expresses that the security risk brought by 5G network is not just monitoring or collecting information, it may cause widespread social disturbance. "5G is not only about communication, but also a platform for Internet of things and other things."
The new generation of 5G network can not only bring mobile broadband services, but also speed up the data transmission of the Internet of things, and apply it to the fields of self driving cars, industrial robots, medical equipment and so on.
Hu Houkun, the head of HUAWEI international business, told the Australian Financial Review last week that the US and Australia's concerns about HUAWEI are unfair based on "groundless suspicion".
"We welcome discussion, even debate, as long as it is based on facts," Hu Houkun said. He also said that HUAWEI is happy to engage in an open and transparent dialogue with the Australian government and telecom operators.
In the international telecommunications market, HUAWEI is considered to be a highly competitive equipment manufacturer. Relying on this continuous investment and technology research and development, HUAWEI has gradually encroached on the market share of European and American equipment manufacturers.
In the past, HUAWEI suffered similar national security turmoil in the US and Australia. Recently, HUAWEI Mobile has been frustrated again in the US market. At the end of the political pressure, operators such as T & T gave up HUAWEI flagship mobile phone sales cooperation. But China's ZTE has gained a place in the smartphone market in the United States.
Five years ago, HUAWEI was banned from bidding for equipment in Australia's national broadband network. Today, Australian Prime Minister Turnbull opposed HUAWEI's move.
