    Source: Huawei case (part 1): Former NSA director accused Huawei of spying for China

    Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei actively spied for the Chinese government, said Michael Hayden, a former NSA and CIA chef in one interview published by Australia financial review published in the middle of this July,2013.

    Michael Hayden suspected that Huawei might share with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of telecommunications systems in other countries at a minimum level. In a further stage, the U.S government had discovered Huawei actively eavesdropping on equipment or networks it has installed and Hayden called this action as "Huawei is engaged in espionage on behalf of the Chinese state" and "instances of espionage or any operational matters".

    Hayden also emphasized that the burden of proof is not on the US but on Huawei company but he has not seen any effort from Huawei to meet the burden of proof test.

    Concerning the US espionage, PRISM and other NSA surveillance program and how they differed from Chinese espionage operations, the former director of NSA admitted that the US steals other countries secrets and the reason why the US steals these secrets is to keep their citizens free and safe: "We don't steal secrets to make our citizens rich. Yet this is exactly what the Chinese do."

    Source: Huawei case (part 2): Huawei tells ex-CIA chief to 'put up or shut up' over claims

    William Plummer, Huawei's vice president of external affairs, said in a statement to The Verge that "Someone says they got some proof of some sort of threat? Okay, then put up. Or shut up." and he considered this accusation as "politically inspired and racist corporate defamation" because of Huawei's China heritage.

    Last October 2012, A US congressional investigation accused Huawei faces further investigation into Chinese 'spying' allegations Chinese telecom companies Huawei and ZTE Corporation pose a security threat to the US.

    Despite the probe and the US investigation, the UK has also ordered a review of Huawei's Cyber Security Evaluation Center in Banbury, after a parliament report expressed concerns over the company's alleged relations with the Chinese government. The UK government Thursday said, "Our work with Huawei and their UK customers gives us confidence that the networks in the UK that use Huawei equipment are operated to a high standard of security and integrity," according to its website.
