The nation's leading nuclear weapons laboratory recently discovered that Chinese-made computer parts had been installed on its systems and had the components replaced owing to concerns about national security. The removal of the parts - network switches from Hangzhou, China-based H3C Technologies Co. - was noted in a letter dated November 5, 2012, from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, reports Reuters. It is not known how many Chinese-made switches were installed at the facility, or whether they were in areas that in any way compromised security, but Reuters says the letter indicates there may be other H3C switch devices installed. H3C, once called Huawei-3Com, was established as a joint venture between the Chinese firm Huawei Technologies Co. , and the U.S.-based 3Com Corp. H3C was acquired by Hewlett Packard in 2010.
