Europe should be wary of telecommunications company Huawei and other Chinese technology companies, says European Union’s technology chief, echoing cybersecurity concerns raised in other parts of the world.

European Commission Vice-President Andrus Ansip told reporters at a press conference on Dec. 7 that these companies have to cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) intelligence services by placing backdoor services in their products, which can be used for espionage.
