I believe Huawei is independent, executive tells UK MPs

John Suffolk says Chinese requirement to cooperate with spy agencies does not apply

Huawei is not obliged to compromise its products in order to comply with China's intelligence law, a senior executive at the company has told MPs at a UK parliamentary hearing.

John Suffolk, the telecoms firm's global cybersecurity and privacy officer, said its understanding was that China's 2017 requirement on companies to cooperate with its intelligence agencies when requested did not apply in its case.
