Security links will dog Chinese firms

Security links will dog Chinese firms:

"Like other Chinese companies that have established a formidable presence on world markets in a remarkably short time, telecommunications network giant Huawei Technologies has made a virtue of selling its products at rock-bottom prices. It has also relied heavily on cultivating and lobbying potential buyers as well as politicians and governments. It was even flirting with the idea of sponsoring the ACT Brumbies in 2011. By such methods, Huawei hoped to win for itself a major role in supplying equipment to Australia's National Broadband Network. However, it has found itself blocked from doing so by the federal government, apparently as the result of an unfavourable security assessment by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation"
