? Huawei has repeatedly denied being linked to the Chinese government
? Hayden is a director of Motorola Solutions
? The Australian government has barred Huawei from involvement in the building of its A$37.4 billion national broadband network
WASHINGTON - The former head of the CIA and the National Security Agency in the US has said that Huawei has spied for the Chinese government.
Michael Hayden told the Australian Financial Review that China was engaged in unrestricted espionage against the West and said it was his belief that Huawei would have shared information with state agencies.
Huawei, founded in 1987 by former People's Liberation Army officer Ren Zhengfei, has repeatedly denied being linked to the Chinese government or military or receiving financial support from either.
Hayden said in an interview with the Australian newspaper that Huawei had "shared with the Chinese state intimate and extensive knowledge of the foreign telecommunications systems it is involved with".
"I think that goes without saying," he was quoted as saying.
The newspaper reported Hayden said intelligence agencies have hard evidence of spying activity by the world's No. 2 telecoms equipment maker. It did not detail that evidence.
Asked whether Huawei represented an unambiguous national security threat to the US and Australia, Hayden replied: "Yes, I believe it does".
Britain, the United States and Australia have all raised concerns that Huawei's alleged ties to the Chinese state could see telecoms equipment supplied by the company used for spying and cyber-attacks.
