A while ago, several national dailies carried reports about the government having “discovered” that the Bangalore-based Chinese company Huawei Technologies may have helped Pakistan and the Taliban upgrade their telecom network with both hardware and software during 2000 and 2001. The reports go on to state that, according to intelligence sources, all the company’s 300 software professionals are Chinese and that the chief executive of the company was formerly an officer of the People’s Liberation Army of China
Also attempting to set up a beachead for American market in Latin America, through Mexico, etc. Per Mexican press on Huawai:
