MPs were asking to what extent Huawei&#8217;s involvement in 5G networks poses a threat to British national security.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor also punched a hole through Huawei&#8217;s continual denials that its commercial objectives are linked with the Chinese state&#8217;s objectives, saying: &#8220;Mexico was offered a very generous loan on 1 per cent interest, on the condition that 80 per cent of it was spent with Huawei. So we see that technology build-out is very much forming part of the Belt and Road strategy \u2013 a patient, sustained strategy that has been conducted over decades.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pienaar linked Huawei&#8217;s commercial success to what he described as $75bn of &#8220;state aid&#8221; from China, apparently citing a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/state-support-helped-fuel-huaweis-global-rise-11577280736\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> investigation<\/a> from December last year. In response to a question from Conservative MP Alicia Kearns, who was a &#8220;guest member&#8221; of the panel from the Foreign Affairs Committee, Pienaar said: &#8220;It is calculated that the Chinese government have financed the growth of Huawei with some $75bn over the past three years to enable it to achieve the kind of market dominance it currently has in telecommunications equipment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kearns had asked whether it was important to shut the Chinese comms giant out of the core of the UK&#8217;s 5G networks. In his answer, Pienaar referenced the 2019 Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/03\/28\/hcsec_huawei_oversight_board_savaging_annual_report\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report<\/a>, which laid bare Huawei&#8217;s pisspoor software development practices.<\/p>\n<p>Speculating about why Huawei &#8220;are so shoddy in their cybersecurity engineering&#8221;, he wondered aloud whether Huawei &#8220;just do not care about it and it is not important to them&#8221;, perhaps unfairly adding: &#8220;That might be related to the price point at which they sell their product.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Taylor sounded a note of caution over Pienaar&#8217;s description of Huawei as deliberately deceptive, remarking: &#8220;I would not run away with the idea that those faults are deliberately placed in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She continued:<\/p>\n<p>Huawei embarked on a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/02\/22\/huawei_gchq_security_plan\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">short-lived charm offensive<\/a> after last year&#8217;s HCSEC report, emphasising how much it spent on cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the committee, not normally known for its ability to uncover original insights, was left with the impression that Huawei is a risk not only to security \u2013 as the government has already concluded \u2013 but to Britain&#8217;s relations with key allies America and Australia. Even though Taylor pointed out that it is far easier for Australia and the US to insist on a no-Huawei policy because they have had de facto bans since the early 2010s, this didn&#8217;t seem to gain much attention.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/01\/28\/uk_says_yes_to_limited_huawei_non_core\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">targets to cap Huawei&#8217;s involvement in UK 5G networks<\/a> at 35 per cent of access layer equipment, there have been murmurings from current Defence Secretary Ben Wallace that this ought to be a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-7941967\/Defence-Secretary-Ben-Wallace-urged-Boris-Johnson-heed-warnings-Huawei.html\">much lower<\/a> target. \u00ae<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Bootnote<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At one point Ellwood chipped in to describe 5G network topology as composed of four parts, in his understanding: transition networks (&#8220;the pipes, if you like&#8221;); the core (&#8220;which they call the brains, so the encryption, the payments, the tariff and so forth&#8221;); the access network (&#8220;masts&#8221;); and the &#8220;management system, which is business support&#8221;. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/tl\/1925\/-8451\/build-the-next-generation-of-your-business-in-the-public-cloud?td=wptl1925\">Webcast: Build the next generation of your business in the public cloud<\/a><\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/feed\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/05\/07\/defence_committee_huawei_5g\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One has the vulns, the other has the brass neck to pull off heists.
