After a year’s worth of observation it had ended with the conclusion that the Chinese companies like ZTE Inc and Huawei Technologies were a national security threat due to their effort to isolate sensitive details from United States firms and their bond to the Chinese government said by the House Intelligence Committee. To generate and utilize wireless networks, the firms sell telecommunications supplies necessarily like something that used by AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
Developing concerns with regards to the security of communications, most of the top suppliers of the materials are located outside the United States. Due to the close ties with the Chinese government which is strongly contributed to the firms, the concerns are more on acute about ZTE and Huawei. According to the report, it allows the Chinese firms to operate business in the United States that would provide the Chinese government the ability to quickly interrupt communications and could allow to start the online assault on discerning infrastructure.

The Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney has announced frequently throughout his campaign for a more challenging approach to China with the business concerns, even though Romney focused his words on the Chinese currency market activity rather than on the practices of the nation’s telecommunications firms.

The United States government should be banned from operating business with ZTE and Huawei and that U.S. firms should prevent buying their products.
The committee had gathered internal documents coming from the recent employees of Huawei that offered supplied services through a cyber warfare unit of the People’s Liberation Army, it was according to the report. The U.S. government should proceed to an interagency panel of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. that analyzes the national security implications of the foreign investments to finalize some recommendations and suggestions. The firms should tell the Chinese market to stop hacking the American companies if they really want to negotiate with the Americans.
