“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.”

“GOP urges probe in China firm deal”
By Bill Gertz
October 4, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Republican Reps. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan and Duncan Hunter of California wrote to Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. formally requesting that CFIUS conduct a security review of the deal, which was announced by 3Com last week.
Both lawmakers, the ranking members of the intelligence and armed services committees, respectively, expressed “alarm” at the proposed merger because of Huawei’s “close ties to the Chinese government.”
“There is little doubt that this proposed arrangement should be reviewed by CFIUS, and we formally request that you initiate a review regardless of whether or not Bain Capital Partners submits the deal for examination,” they stated.
“This review should be conducted, and a determination made, as to whether this sale will in any way impact the national security of the United States or increase the vulnerability of U.S. computer networks and telecommunications systems to Chinese intrusion.””
