Huawei is again at the center of a controversy that has shocked the world due to some accusations made against the Chinese company, and if they prove to be true, then part of what Donald Trump said is real. Huawei has been sued in the US by a California company that accuses it of stealing its proprietary technologies, but also allegedly installed in a public security system in Lahore, Pakistan, methods to access its data without right
Huawei is at the center of accusations that would undoubtedly confirm the fact that everything the US has said so far is true, and if this is confirmed, then probably more partners will ask themselves serious questions. Huawei would have stolen these technologies from the Californian company a few years ago, when it would have used them to create methods by which it could unauthorizedly access important data for Pakistan's national security, but also to spy on its citizens.
Huawei: The very serious accusations that shocked the whole world
Huawei would have illegally accessed the closed-circuit system of surveillance cameras that the city of Lahore installed with the help of the American company, and this is where the accusation of spying on the Pakistanis comes into play. Through that system, those from Huawei are also accused of having accessed data about government or local officials from Pakistan, together with data about citizens from, probably, that city, and if the accusation is real, then it is very serious.
Buena Park, Calif.-based Business Efficiency Solutions LLC, or BES, says in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in California district court that Huawei asked it to set up a system in China that would give Huawei access to sensitive information about citizens and government officials from a safe cities surveillance project in Pakistan's second largest city, Lahore. Muhammad Kamran Khan, chief operating officer of the Punjab Safe Cities Authority, which is overseeing the Lahore project, said the authority has begun looking into the BES allegations.”
Huawei says that in 2018 it initiated an arbitration action in Pakistan and obtained a favorable decision in front of the American company, so that is probably why it is seeking justice in the USA. On the opposite pole, the authorities in Lahore say that they are investigating the accusations made against Huawei, so it remains to be seen to what extent they will be confirmed, although it is unlikely that the Pakistanis will do it because that would put them in a very bad light.
Huawei was accused by Donald Trump and the US government of the fact that its computer systems contain vulnerabilities introduced intentionally so that the Chinese company can finally access the data from them.
