Chinese telecom companies are bracing for a new congressional report that is likely to accuse them of posing a security threat to the United States. On October 8, the House Intelligence Committee will release the findings of its yearlong investigation into the Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE. The chairman of the panel, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), hinted last week that the report wouldn’t be favorable to the telecom giants. "The report will explain why there may be reasons for concern," Chairman Rogers said at an event in Washington. Some officials worry that the Chinese government could use the companies to spy on Americans or sabotage communications networks.
