Chinese teclo giant Huawei which is already facing heat the US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada is now under scanner in UK.
 
According to reports, Britain’s parliamentary intelligence and security watchdog is investigating whether Huawei which has partnership with telecoms operator, BTGroup PLC in the country and access to communications infrastructure in the country is a potential security threat.

Malcolm Rifkind, chairman of the British committee, said the watchdog's interest in Huawei's relationship with BT predated the US report. "The issue of Huawei goes back two or three years, with both the United States and Australia, and one or two other countries, expressing concern," he said.

"There's been a particular interest in Huawei because it's a major Chinese company, but one which has its origins in individuals who were in the People's Liberation Army, and there's obviously a question mark as to the extent they are truly independent of Chinese government influence."
Earlier this week, the House Intelligence Committee in US had recommended that two Chinese telco giants Huawei and ZTE should be kept out of contracts and acquisitions in the US as they pose security threat.
 
The draft report of the panel which is the outcome of a yearlong congressional investigation suggested that these two firms are under the influence of the Chinese government and cannot be trusted.
