One fear often voiced about Huawei, the Chinese telecoms equipment maker, is that it is a secret agent of the Chinese government. If it were allowed into the US, could it not embed hidden code into its devices that would enable the Chinese intelligence services to monitor everything passing along its networks? Now substitute the word Verizon for Huawei. Thanks to Edward Snowden, the US intelligence contractor gone rogue, we know that Verizon did something quite similar.
關于中國電信設備制造商華為(Huawei),有一種擔憂時常被人提及——人們擔心它是中國政府的秘密情報機構。如果華為被允許進入美國,它難道不會在其設備中嵌入隱藏代碼,從而使得中國情報機構能夠監視該設備所在網絡中通過的所有信息?現在,讓我們把以上語句中的華為替換成Verizon。叛變的美國情報機構合同工愛德華?斯諾登(Edward Snowden)讓我們得以了解到,Verizon曾做過非常類似的事。
