US threat to rethink sharing information with nations using Huawei has implications for Thailand and the Philippines.
Washington will rethink connectivity and information sharing with any nation using equipment made by Chinese tech giant Huawei – including its allies in Southeast Asia, according to the United States cybersecurity official leading Washington’s campaign against Huawei.
They are not alone in their willingness to use Huawei equipment, with other countries including Malaysia also on board. At the second Belt and Road Forum in Beijing last week, the Philippines’ trade secretary Ramon Lopez and Malaysian trade minister Darell Leiking indicated their nations were not concerned about the security issues trumpeted by the US.
“It is the US position that putting Huawei or any other untrustworthy vendor in any part of the 5G telecommunications network is a risk.” My way or the Huawei: how US ultimatum fell flat in Southeast AsiaTimothy Heath, an analyst at the Rand Corporation who was formerly with US Pacific Command, said that buying into the Chinese 5G ecosystem would make Southeast Asian nations more dependent on Chinese technology in the future.
He pointed to the western Chinese province of Xinjiang as an example of how surveillance deployed by the government had resulted in the detention of more than 1 million people.
