None of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing nations will use technology from Huawei in the “sensitive” parts of their telecoms networks, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.
That puts it at odds with the United States which has told allies not to use the firm, fearing it could be a vehicle for Chinese spy operations.Rob Joyce, a senior official from the U.S. National Security Agency, said the Five Eyes group – made up of the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia – would not use technology from countries which posed a threat to critical national infrastructure.
“What I see playing out here is a discussion amongst all of us about the realities of where do you define sensitive networks, where does that start and end. Ciaran Martin, the head of Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre, said that any disagreements over Huawei would not threaten intelligence-sharing between the five allies.
