“Merger opens U.S. defense to China”
By Bill Gertz
October 3, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The announced merger follows a July computer attack on the Pentagon that U.S. intelligence officials say involved Chinese military hackers. The hackers were detected breaking into Pentagon computers, including an e-mail system close to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.

“Huawei is up to its eyeballs with the Chinese military,” said a defense official concerned about the deal. Huawei was founded in 1988 by a Chinese military officer and got its start building military communications networks.

A second official said the deal comes as the Pentagon has mounted an aggressive effort to thwart large numbers of computer intrusions from Chinese hackers and spies.

“And now we are proposing to sell the PLA a key to our front door. This is a very dangerous trend,” the official said, referring to the People’s Liberation Army, as the Chinese military is called.”
