Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., agreed, saying aircraft carriers become \u201csitting ducks\u201d if communication systems are vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of a backdoor in the networks that just Huawei or the Chinese could exploit, Krebs said, potential vulnerabilities in Huawei\u2019s systems could be a \u201cbug door\u201d that any knowledgeable actor could exploit, leaving Huawei with plausible deniability of an attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5G networks would boost capabilities for autonomous vehicles, remote surgery and advanced manufacturing, but senators from both parties expressed concerns about Huawei dominating the global market for 5G because of the Chinese government\u2019s ability to influence the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not about overseeing Huawei, it\u2019s about overseeing China,\u201d said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the committee\u2019s chairman. He stressed the need for alternatives in the 5G market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krebs said for many allies the attractiveness of a Huawei network comes from an initial low-cost transition to 5G. But he pointed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/790270\/HCSEC_OversightBoardReport-2019.pdf\">British oversight board\u2019s report<\/a> showed the total life cycle costs of maintaining a Huawei network will be higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The offer by the Chinese to sell the 5G equipment cheaply and operate, maintain and repair it is \u201cputting a fox in the hen house,\u201d said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blumenthal said in Congress, there is \u201cstrong bipartisan alarm about the threat by posed by Huawei, which is really a threat posed by China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat still mystifies me is why our partners and allies around the world seem less alarmed than we are?,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We\u2019re spending tens of billions of dollars on aircraft carriers, on new joint strike fighters, all of it potentially more vulnerable because of the kinds of compromising equipment you\u2019re describing. We are literally putting our national security at risk and ultimately it\u2019s theirs [our allies] as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When representatives from the United States, the European Union and NATO countries met recently in Prague, the nations agreed on the principle of the rule of law when implementing 5G networks, said Robert Strayer, deputy assistant secretary for cyber and international communications and information policy at the State Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur ability to be leaders on the global stage depends on our ability to command the intellectual property rights of 5G,\u201d said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., who recently returned from leading a congressional delegation to China. \u201cHow do we set standards in a way that allows free and open principles for 5G to win out?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina\u2019s goal is to build the entire house,\u201d Coons said. \u201cWe need to step up our game to make sure we\u2019re part of the framing of the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese company Huawei\u2019s efforts to sell its 5G network equipment to U.S. allies worried members of the Senate Judiciary Committee May 14 about disruptions in global communications, intelligence sharing and military operations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":25848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":16,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[10,106,29,16,32],"tags":[],"coauthors":[5618],"class_list":["post-26640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cyber","category-daily-brief","category-home","category-it-networks","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"MYXWVG5J2BERJEJCKHYNZXHM4Q","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/2019\/05\/15\/the-worry-about-5g-they-control-whether-or-not-we-communicate\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The worry about 5G: \u2018They control whether or not we communicate\u2019 - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chinese company Huawei\u2019s efforts to sell its 5G network equipment to U.S. allies worried members of the Senate Judiciary Committee May 14 about disruptions in global communications, intelligence sharing and military operations\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The worry about 5G: \u2018They control whether or not we communicate\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chinese company Huawei\u2019s efforts to sell its 5G network equipment to U.S. allies worried members of the Senate Judiciary Committee May 14 about disruptions in global communications, intelligence sharing and military operations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/it-networks\/2019\/05\/15\/the-worry-about-5g-they-control-whether-or-not-we-communicate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-05-15T02:46:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T18:21:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dwight A.
