Chinese telecommunication company Huawei Technologies Ltd. acquired San Francisco bay Area startup 3Leaf Systems for $2 million back in May, but did not inform the government, a move which has got the company in trouble with the U.S. government. Officials at the Pentagon want Huawei to run the deal by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States retroactively. Huawei has been thwarted several time in the past from making U.S. acquisitions due to concerns over national security.

China Telecom (Hong Kong) Group Ltd., a telecommunications company owned by China, redirected huge reams of Internet data through its own servers, according to a report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. The information was transmitted during a period of eighteen minutes and included traffic from American business and government sites.

Government concerns over national security have prompted Sprint Nextel Corp. to shut Chinese companies Huawei Technologies Company Ltd. and ZTE Corp. out from competitive bidding for a multi-billion contract.

Some legislators believe that China's Huawei Technologies Company Ltd. poses a threat to national security with its operations in the United States. Now, in addition to the telecommunications company, the legislators add ZTE Corp., and say that restrictions should be brought about to curtail the companies' foreign operations.
