Huawei helped build North Korea's commercial 3G wireless network, according to internal documents leaked by a former company employee.

The documents were published today by The Washington Post and include previous orders, various incl και exel, που αποδεικνύουν ότι η Huawei συνεργάστηκε με μια κινεζική κρατική εταιρεία, την Panda International Information Technology, για την δημιουργία και συντήρηση ενός εμπορικού ασύρματου δικτύου 3G στη Βόρεια Κορέα.

In this partnership, Huawei used the name of Panda International Information Technology to ship networking in North Korea, which was then used to build the country's 3G network.

The former Huawei employee released the documents because "I considered the information to be in the public interest," according to WP.

In internal documents, Huawei refers to certain countries, such as North Korea, Iran and Syria, with codes for reasons of confidentiality. North Korea was listed as an "A9" in company documents.

Of course, Huawei stated that it does not have a "business presence" in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Huawei - which uses US components in its devices - may have violated US sanctions banning the sale of US components to North Korea.

North Korea is known to be subject to international sanctions for its nuclear regime but also for human rights violations.

The release of internal documents comes at a time when various Western countries are considering whether to ban Huawei equipment from their upcoming 5G projects.

Countries like the United Kingdom have not yet decided whether to exclude Huawei from 5G networks.

Of course the timing of the "leak" while there are discussions about its future Huawei in the United States, just a fluke that doesn't seem to be. However, since the they don't usually confirm or deny such information we may never know what really happened.
