Senators question how to roll out 5G without Chinese technology

CNN  

San Francisco CNN Business — With the imminent arrival of 5G to more US cities, several United States senators expressed concern over how to roll out the new technology without the help of Chinese equipment makers. Huawei is the world’s biggest maker of telecommunications equipment, but the US government has growing concerns that using its technology could pose a national security threat. “This is a very big deal because it could make our country incredibly vulnerable and we cannot let China do this, it’s that simple.” US regulators have moved to limit federal funding for US carriers who use Huawei gear with their networks over fears the equipment could allow the Chinese government to eavesdrop on sensitive US communications. In April, the Daily Telegraph reported the UK’s National Security Council — a body led by Prime Minister Theresa May — agreed to let Huawei help build the country’s 5G network. “I think it should become a major element of State Department policy to try to straighten this out before we proceed and have real problems because Huawei has been very assertive.” Strayer added that“because of the essential role that vendors play in networks and their maintenance, they could be ordered to undermine network security, to steal personal information or intellectual property, conduct espionage, disrupt critical services or conduct cyberattacks.” Christopher Krebs, director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, was also questioned during the hearing.
