WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Baicells, a Chinese telecoms hardware maker founded by veterans of heavily sanctioned Huawei that has equipment operating in every American state, needs rigorous scrutiny by the U.S. government, the top Republican on the House Select Committee on China said. "The presence of this company - or any company with known cyber vulnerabilities in their products - anywhere in the U.S. should raise significant national security alarms," John Moolenaar said in a statement to Reuters. "The Chinese Communist Party is relentlessly pursuing efforts to export its oppressive surveillance state, and companies like Baicells, despite their claims of security, must be scrutinized rigorously."
