Huawei’s South Korea Project Draws U.S. Scrutiny

Huawei Technologies Co., China’s largest maker of phone network equipment, said there is no basis for U.S. scrutiny of its contract to supply broadband equipment for a project in South Korea.

“Our gear is world-proven and trusted, connecting almost one-third of the world’s population,” Scott Sykes, a spokesman for Shenzhen-based Huawei, said in an e-mail today. “The motivations of those that might groundlessly purport otherwise are puzzling.”
