US lawmakers concerned by Huawei deal: "US lawmakers expressed concern on Thursday over the sale of US computer firm 3Leaf Systems to Chinese technology giant Huawei, saying the deal could pose a 'serious risk' to US national security.
In a letter to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Democratic Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, Republican Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona and three other lawmakers accused Huawei of having 'ties with the People's Liberation Army, the Taliban, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.'
They asked to be updated on the status of the review of the 3Leaf acquisition by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which reportedly began looking into the transaction in December."
