WASHINGTON • United States intelligence has accused Huawei Technologies of being funded by Chinese state security, The Times has said, adding to the list of allegations faced by the Chinese technology company in the West.
Earlier this year, US intelligence shared its claims with other members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing group, which includes Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, according to the report."Huawei does not comment on unsubstantiated allegations backed up by zero evidence from anonymous sources," a Huawei representative told The Times.
The accusation comes at a time of trade tensions between Washington and Beijing and amid concerns in the US that Huawei's equipment could be used for espionage. The company has said the concerns are unfounded.Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of its founder, Mr Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Canada last December at the request of the US on charges of bank and wire fraud in violation of US sanctions against Iran.
