Huawei Gets National Security Attention

We forgot about this, but it is back.  Huawei has returned to the national spotlight in the US, where it is suspected to be an agent of Chinese intelligence.  In what Reuters claims as an exclusive AT&T was told to relook at plans to use Huawei phones to certain of its customers.  That is a clear indication there is something they don’t like about those phones.  It is also a clear indication they are still watching Huawei, and probably know what they have been up to.  This has been going on for 6-7 years and was supposed to be connected to Huawei being somehow connected to Chinese Intelligence.  It used to be that the concern was for company officers who had ties to the Intelligence Services, and I would have figured the Chinese would have papered that over by now.  There must be more to it than that.
