faizone 15 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) Source NEW DELHI: It's not without reason that the security agencies continue to eye Huawei with suspicion. For, the Chinese firm’s R&D facility in Bangalore operates with a secrecy so intense that a larger part of its premises are completely out of bounds for Indians. At Huawei Technologies’ R&D facility in Bangalore, only the ground and first floors are reportedly accessible to Indian staff. The floors beyond can be accessed only by the Chinese executives and managers, a top intelligence official told ET. Though Chinese form only a minuscule percentage of Huawei India’s staff at the Bangalore facility, it is they who enjoy exclusive and unrestricted access to R&D office’s top floors. There is not much information on what equipment is tested and what goes on in the ‘Chinese-only’ parts of the building. But intelligence agencies have noticed how Chinese employees of Huawei often have an extended stay in Bangalore for months together. Though attempts were made by security agencies a few months ago to probe the purpose behind these long-drawn business trips by the Chinese staff of Huawei to Bangalore, they were told curtly that the Chinese were staying on to learn and master English!

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Something fishy... If this is the TRUTH, there is nothing wrong in banning Huwaei Technologies' equipments.. And what an EXCUSE... We don't know that R&D labs are used to teach ENGLISH to Chinese people.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abhi.r 95 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 Well so this is what all about, and we suspected our bearucrat to be a crook and currupted and stop chinise mobile phone imports in India. I heard a news somewhere that DoT asked all companies like Nokia, SonyEricssosn, and others who have manufacturing plant in China to provide with the source code of the OS of their phones comes. Infact I belive banning RIM to run Blackberry services is also justified. If RIM can install a server in China then why not India?? I belive India is also as big market as China is. National Security must be the primary concern of everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
