MIT cuts collaborations with Huawei and ZTE over security concerns

Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday announced that it was cutting collaborations with Chinese telecom giants Huawei and ZTE amid federal investigations into the companies and potential security risks.

In a letter posted on the university’s website, MIT said it would be tightening the screening process for research and projects with international partners, namely China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

MIT joins a growing list of schools that have stopped collaborating with Huawei since the US government accused the company of intellectual property theft and breaking US sanctions on Iran earlier this year.
