U.S. Joint Exercises Rely on Huawei Backbone Network? PPT Files Transmitted via Mobile Phones Caused Pentagon to Be Very Concerned!
In a recent joint exercise in the Indo-Pacific region, a scene that deeply worried the Pentagon occurred: after U.S. military officers presented the strategy of the exercise in a PPT file, officers from allied countries immediately took photos of the PPT with their mobile phones and then used these phones to make calls. The U.S. side was concerned about the transmission of these materials through local telecommunications networks, many of which were built by Huawei equipment.
The U.S. military is actively promoting its "Joint All-Domain Command and Control" (JADC2) system, aiming to achieve cross-service second-level coordination capabilities.
According to disclosure from a U.S. military website, in a recent integrated drill, the system achieved data sharing and coordinated response among Army radar, Navy ships, and Air Force interception systems without manual relay, in seconds.
However, this advanced military communication system has an intricate connection with civil network infrastructure.
In the Indo-Pacific region, many countries' core communication networks are built or participated in by Huawei. When the U.S. military conducts joint exercises with these countries, sensitive military information inevitably needs to be transmitted through these networks.
A U.S. official complained that partner country participants took photos of the exercise PPTs with their mobile phones and transmitted them through Huawei's backbone network, meaning "the entire digital infrastructure and economic lifelines of the entire theater of operations are in the hands of China."
