Former CIA head, General Michael Hayden, yesterday accused international telecommunications giant, HuaWei, of spying for the Chinese Government, after Malcolm Turnbull said that he would review a Labor government decision to ban the company from building the NBN.
HuaWei has sponsored more trips to China by politicians, mostly coalition members, than any other company, according to the parliamentary record.
General Hayden says “at the very least, Hua Wei is sharing sensitive information about the telecommunications infrastructure of Western countries with the Chinese intelligence agencies.”
