The Pentagon has ordered all stores on U.S. military bases worldwide to ban mobile phones and other telecommunications equipment made by the Chinese companies Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and ZTE Corp. after senior U.S. intelligence officials warned the phones could be used to spy on Americans and U.S. service members.
Huawei has been a known intelligence risk for at least a decade if not longer. They make large-scale telecom systems, but the carriers have been warned not to buy them due to their potential for espionage.
