NEW DELHI: The US<\/a> has warned the Indian government that companies found supplying equipment or other products of American origin to Huawei<\/a> or its units could face punitive action, said people with knowledge of the matter. The May 27 letter, sent to the Ministry of External Affairs<\/a> (MEA), is being seen as part of US efforts to intensify pressure on India to act against the Chinese company<\/a>. 新德里:我们印度政府警告说,公司发现提供设备或其他产品的美国起源华为或其单位可能面临惩罚性行动,知情人士表示。5月27日的信,发送到外交部(MEA),被视为我们的一部分努力加强对印度采取行动对抗压力中国公司。
The MEA has in turn sought the views of the Department of Telecom (DoT<\/a>), Niti Aayog, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Department of Commerce and the principal scientific adviser on the implications of US’ curbs on Huawei for Indian firms, a senior government official told ET.
“Three questions have been posed by the MEA — to examine information provided by the US, including possibility of action against Indian firms that supply US-origin software and equipment to Huawei and also to provide views on the recommendations of a recent 5G security conference at Prague and overall opinion on the matter,” the official said.
Sources told ET the recommendations of the Prague conference in May had been ‘general’ and didn’t single out any company.

Call for Robust Security Framework<\/strong>
But the latest communication from the US authorities to India had largely to do with details of the recent ban on equipment from Huawei and a list of its units. These included 35 registered companies in China and affiliates such as Huawei Sri Lanka, Huawei Pakistan and Huawei Hong Kong.
Crucially, the Chinese were not invited for the conference, which saw telecom chiefs from 32 countries, and which essentially recommended that governments adopt 5G network standards that Huawei might not be able to meet, due to Chinese laws requiring cooperation in intelligence-gathering efforts, sources said.
An official said the Prague summit called for a robust security framework.
“A country’s communications system should be designed with resilience and security, and should have its own security policies,” he said, citing the summit’s key recommendation. It didn’t name any company or country. “So, on the issues of privacy and security, we are in confirmation with these principles outlined at the Prague conference that each country’s communication network should be safe and secure.”
However, the matter of Indian companies<\/a> being possibly accountable and punishable for supplying US hardware or software to Huawei or its associates is not easy to resolve.
“Huawei has the maximum 5G patents and there is no doubt that they have taken the lead in this technology,” the official said. “Now, if we permit our companies to deploy Huawei, and somewhere in the entire supply chain or network operations, if some US software is deployed, the probability for which is high, how would it impact our companies?”
While no Indian company was mentioned in the detailed list provided by the US authorities, the communication required careful study and response, said the people cited above.
It comes as the Indian government is holding internal top-level discussions to take a final decision on whether to permit Huawei to participate at all in 5G trials, which are expected to commence shortly. The DoT’s views have also been sought on the matter, but the telecom department has been divided on the issue so far, said people with knowledge of the matter.
One section contends that the country can’t depend on just two network equipment suppliers — Nokia and Ericsson — and points out that there are risks from European vendors as well. It argues that Huawei should be given an opportunity in the 5G trials, which will also allow India to scrutinise security vulnerabilities, if any. The other section insists that Chinese vendors are a security threat, given that they have to share information with the government under the law of that country.

意味着有反过来寻求电信部门的意见(点),镍钛Aayog,电子产品和信息化部、商务部和首席科学顾问的影响我们的限制华为印度公司,一位高级政府官员告诉等。
消息人士告诉ET布拉格会议上的建议可能已“一般”,没有单一的任何公司。
健壮的安全框架
但最新通信从美国向印度当局在很大程度上与最近禁止从华为设备的细节和一个列表的单位。其中包括35在中国注册公司,子公司华为斯里兰卡等华为巴基斯坦和华为香港。
至关重要的是,中国未被邀请参加会议,看到电信主管来自32个国家,本质上,建议政府采用5 g网络标准,华为可能无法见面,因为中国法律要求在情报收集的合作努力,消息人士说。
一位官员说布拉格峰会呼吁一个健壮的安全框架。
“一个国家的通信系统应该被设计成具有弹性和安全性,并且应该有自己的安全策略,“他说,引用了峰会的主要建议。它没有任何公司或国家。“所以,隐私和安全的问题,我们在确认与这些原则在布拉格会议上概述了每个国家的通信网络应该安全。”
然而,的问题印度公司被问责和惩罚向华为提供我们硬件或软件或其伙伴不容易解决。
“华为最大5 g专利,毫无疑问,领导这一技术,”这位官员说。“现在,如果我们允许华为公司部署,并在整个供应链或网络操作,如果一些美国软件部署,的概率很高,它会如何影响我们的公司?”
虽然没有提到印度公司在美国当局提供的清单,仔细研究和反应,所需的通信上面引用的人说。
之际,印度政府控股内部高层的讨论,最终决定是否允许华为参与5 g试验,预计很快开始。点也一直在寻求对此事的看法,但电信部门一直在分裂的问题到目前为止,知情人士表示。
一部分认为,国家不能只依靠两个网络设备供应商,诺基亚和爱立信,指出从欧洲供应商也存在风险。它认为,华为应该得到一个机会在5 g试验,这也将允许印度审查安全漏洞,如果任何。另一部分坚称,中国供应商的安全威胁,因为他们必须与政府共享信息在那个国家的法律。
