Huawei can intercept the US military communication information?Expert: FBI's survey is a very ignorant hypothesis

[Global Times reporter Guo Yuandan] In an exclusive report on the 23rd, the US Federal Investigation Agency (FBI) investigates that Huawei device can intercept and disturb the US military information and even the US strategic Command Communication content. Professionals interviewed by a reporter from the Global Times on the 24th said that the FBI relevant accusations exaggerated their words. Huawei was only the equipment provider, and the operation was responsible for the local operator. Unless cooperation with local operators, it was impossible to intercept and steal American information at all. Especially US military information.

CNN claims in this exclusive report that FBI believes that the equipment of Huawei can intercept US military confidentiality data, including US nuclear arsenal data. It is reported that the FBI found that Huawei devices were used on mobile communication base stations near the US military base in the Midwest of the United States. A number of sources who know the FBI survey said, "There is no doubt that Huawei equipment is not only capable of intercepting commercial mobile phone communication, but also the ability to intercept highly restricted electric waves used by the U.S. military, and disrupt key communications from the US strategic Command. This Let the Chinese government have the opportunity to understand the relevant situation of the United States' nuclear arsenal. " Former FBI officials who knew the investigation said: "This involves some of the most sensitive things we do." He added: "This will affect our basic command and control ability to nuclear trinity."

CNN also said that at least during Obama's administration, such investigations of the FBI have been launched, but the US official has not yet announced the results of the investigation. As for whether the above base stations have been intercepted and returned to Beijing, the American intelligence community is not clear. The report quoted sources as saying that in terms of technical perspective, it is difficult to prove that a data packet has been stolen and transmitted overseas.

Huawei said in a statement issued to CNN: "All our products imported to the United States were tested and certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) before installation." "Our device is only allocated by FCC for commercial use. It runs on the spectrum. This means that it cannot access any spectrum assigned to the Ministry of National Defense. "" For more than 30 years, Huawei has maintained a good record in network security, and we have never been involved in any malicious network security incidents. "

CNN mentioned that the US government refused to provide evidence to support its claim that Huawei's technology constituted a risk of national security, which led some critics to accuse them of excessive excessive exclusion. In addition, there is no conclusive evidence for evidence that it has caused U.S. officials to question whether the legal Chinese investment and spy activities are distinguished.

Military expert Song Zhongping told the Global Times reporter on the 24th that the FBI's conclusion was obviously unable to stand. First of all, Huawei's local telecommunications operators only provide equipment. The operation and maintenance of equipment is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the equipment. If Huawei implants the interception process in the device, it is impossible for local operators to notice. Huawei will not do this kind of behavior that endangers US national security to harm its interests in the US market. Secondly, the US military communication system is highly confidential, with strong anti -interference ability, and realizing preparations through various methods. Huawei's mobile phone signal base station in the United States is very limited, and signal interception cannot be implemented at all.

Xiang Ligang, a senior expert in the communications industry, said in an interview with the Global Times reporter on the 24th that the investigation in US media reports was a very ignorant hypothesis. "If the equipment can be established for information transmission, then all devices have this ability, such as Apple mobile phones, Microsoft systems, and Intel chips used by China. Are they also collecting relevant information in China and passing them to the US government. ? "

Xiang Ligang said that from a technical analysis, assuming that Huawei needs to intercept information from relevant US departments to other countries, it needs to have three premises: first, information interception is performed through wireless base stations; second, specific equipment is required on the base station; Third, the interception information can be passed through the operator's network to overseas countries. "The key question is that if Huawei can do this, it is necessary to cooperate with local telecommunications operators and Huawei, but do the local telecommunications operator club cooperate with Huawei? The answer is obviously negative."
