A British government report issued Thursday detailing security risks posed by Chinese firm Huawei confirms U.S. government warnings of security risks associated with the telecom giant, according to a U.S. official.
The report from a cybersecurity watchdog identified "significant technical issues" in Huawei's engineering and warned there is "only limited assurance" the risk can be managed.
Washington is campaigning in Europe and beyond for allies to ban the use of Huawei technology as they develop plans to build new high speed fifth generation, or 5G, mobile networks. The U.S. argues Huawei could give the Chinese government backdoor access to snoop on internet users worldwide.
