SYDNEY - The former head of the United States' Central Intelligence Agency Michael Hayden said Friday it "goes without saying" that Chinese telecoms giant Huawei spies for Beijing.
Speaking to the Australian Financial Review, Hayden claimed China was engaged in unrestricted espionage against the West and said it was his belief that Huawei would have shared information with state agencies.
\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.
Huawei denies it has any direct links to the Chinese state, but the US Congress last year called for its exclusion from US government contracts and it was also barred from bidding for contracts to build Australia's national broadband network.

Really nice building, pretty bad ass NOC they have set up...Was reviewing their IMS platform. They have a HUGE contract with a very large cable company. Downstairs they had like 20K square foot data center/lab only about 20% built out. About 20 racks were simulating the cable companies network/testing.
The funny thing is. Upstairs floors they had all this space, nice large cubes and offices..When we were down in the lab area there was one room off to the side with a door open that was around 30-60 foot. In there they had developers CRAMMED literally side by side, all Chinese just hacking away on terminals LOL. I was like, really? Rows and rows of tables, keyboards and monitors, and lots of humans.
I guess that was the H1B Visa room
