Is China trying to spy on the United States thanks to Huawei?

Published on :

Since 2017, the FBI has been investigating the installation of telecommunications antennas by China on US soil. He halted what he saw as clear efforts to plant listening devices near military and government structures.

CNN talks about a Chinese garden just steps from the Capitol, in Washington DC. It was a $100 million Chinese project. Temples, pavilions, a 20 meter high pagoda and huge gardens. But upon digging a bit, counterintelligence officials realized several things: The pagoda was supposedly placed on one of the highest points in Washington DC, and China had the building materials shipped in suitcases. diplomatic, which the American customs officers could not examine.

The fear that an antenna on the roof of the pagoda was spying on the Capitol prompted the FBI to quietly cancel this project.

Two billion dollars to remove Huawei antennas

What encourage to investigate more deeply, especially in the American northeast. CNN takes the example of the state of Montana, where there are many missile silos. The FBI has become concerned about the many telecom towers in the area that use Huawei sensors.

We can’t really know if strategic data has been captured by China from these towers, but as a precaution, Congress has approved a $2 billion package to remove these Huawei antennas in 2020, but none have yet been able to be removed. The operation would be much more expensive than expected.
