How China spies on the West
In December last year Oxford University students were offered £15,000 in prize money if they could solve challenges relating to the surveillance and tracking of devices and their users.
‘Huawei welcomes a selection of top-of-the-class students to their 2021 University Challenge’, the invitations read. The company added that the technology would be used for ‘business intelligence’ and ‘security services’.

Huawei is sanctioned by the US with a fall in profit, believing lacking a key factor.
#Mengwenzhou, the deputy chairwoman and CFO of #Huawei, once again showed up at the group performance meeting after returning to #China.
Under the #US sanction on Huawei and the shortage of chips, Huawei's income in the previous year was reduced by almost 30%, to around 637 billion dollars (in RMB, same below). It is the first fall in the revenue since the record was publicised.
Last year's net profit raised by 75.9%, to 113.7 billion dollars, in which, the sale of a smartphone department to a government-led consortium took account of around 57.4 billion dollars. With a subsidy of 2.57 billion dollars from the government, a total of 60.8 billion dollars of other income was recorded, increasing 87 times from the previous year, being the reason for net profit.
With the deduction of the other income, the net profit was slightly higher than 52.9 billion dollars, reduced by almost 20% year-to-year.
According to the data from a market research organisation, Omdia, Huawei shipped 35 million smartphones only, which plunged by 81.6% from the previous year. The market share fell from 14.7% in 2020 to 2.6% in 2021.
Huawei's consumer business resulted in a hit, and the revenue was reduced by 49.6% from last year to 243.4 billion dollars.

FBI investigation determined Chinese-made #Huawei equipment could disrupt US nuclear arsenal communications
//In 2017, the Chinese government was offering to spend $100 million to build an ornate Chinese garden at the #NationalArboretum in Washington DC. Complete with temples, pavilions and a 70-foot white pagoda, the project thrilled local officials, who hoped it would attract thousands of tourists every year.
But when US counterintelligence officials began digging into the details, they found numerous red flags. The pagoda, they noted, would have been strategically placed on one of the highest points in #WashingtonDC, just two miles from the #USCapitol, a perfect spot for signals intelligence collection, multiple sources familiar with the episode told CNN.
Also alarming was that Chinese officials wanted to build the pagoda with materials shipped to the US in diplomatic pouches, which #USCustoms officials are barred from examining, the sources said...
Among the most alarming things the #FBI uncovered pertains to Chinese-made Huawei equipment atop cell towers near US military bases in the rural Midwest. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the FBI determined the equipment was capable of capturing and disrupting highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country's nuclear weapons....//

Lawmakers urge more scrutiny of Chinese firms in wake of charges
Members of Congress are urging more scrutiny of Chinese companies in the U.S. after the Justice Department this week announced that two Chinese agents sought to obstruct prosecution of a telecommunications company reported to be Huawei Technologies.
The criminal charges unsealed Monday against the two Chinese intelligence officers are the latest twist in the case against the company, which the department indicted in 2020 for federal racketeering and conspiring to steal U.S. companies’ trade secrets. The Justice Department described the company as “a global telecommunications company that is a charged defendant in an ongoing prosecution.” The New York Times reported that the company was Huawei.

Images from over 700 surveillance cameras in Taiwan leaked, all using Huawei chips
The Taiwanese media has reported that over 700 private surveillance cameras have been leaked live on websites such as Insecam. The leaked footage included postnatal care homes, clinics, some homes' entrances, living rooms and even bedrooms, all of which had one thing in common: the cameras used Huawei chips.
A bun shop owner in the Datong district of Taipei City said that she was scared to see the images of her shop on the internet. She never thought that these images would be made public, and the thought of being watched at work made her feel uncomfortable. The surveillance cameras used in these leaked locations all have Huawei chips built into them, most of which are HiSilicon Hi3516 chips.
