Threats emanating from Chinese telecom, surveillance equipment haunt global clients

The global clients of Chinese telecom and surveillance equipment are haunted by the penetration into the security apparatus and stealing of vital data from government departments, reported The HK Post. Allegations on China regarding surveillance and espionage through various Chinese-made telecom and other tech gadgets are not new and despite rebuttal by the Chinese tech companies, their integrity towards client countries has always been in doubt, especially their connection with the Communist Party of China (CPC) and People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Speaking recently on Australia’s national broadcaster ABC, the country’s Defence Minister Richard Marles revealed that Chinese-made security cameras would be removed from government buildings for fear of a breach of security. “It’s important that we go through this exercise and make sure that our facilities are completely secure,” said Marles. The minister said that removing Chinese-made cameras was crucial to make facilities “completely secure” and therefore, government officials have been instructed to find and remove all these cameras at military sites, reported The HK Post. It follows similar moves in the United States and Britain, which have both taken measures to stop government departments from installing Chinese-made cameras at sensitive sites.
