House Report: Chinese telecom linked to elite PLA cyberwarfare unit

Instead, the report said, “The investigation concludes that the risks associated with Huawei’s and ZTE’s provision of equipment to U.S. critical infrastructure could undermine core U.S. national-security interests.”
A classified annex bolsters the committee’s concerns about national security threats posed by the companies, the report said.
Additionally, the committee uncovered evidence of illegal activity by Huawei and forwarded the information to the administration for further investigation.
Larry Wortzel, a former military intelligence officer who specialized in Chinese affairs, said the House report makes a convincing case for keeping both companies away from critical U.S. infrastructure, defense firms, and government communications systems.
“The report shows that private corporations that choose to use equipment from these companies leave themselves open to technology theft and penetrations of their systems to extract financial and proprietary data,” Wortzel said.
Well at least we are looking at the threat. 

I'm surprised the Regime doesn't claim that Huawei and ZTE are just in the movie business.
