National Grid has started removing components supplied by a Chinese state-backed company from Britain’s electricity transmission network over cyber security fears, according to two people familiar with the matter.The move by the FTSE 100 company, which runs the bulk of Britain’s electricity grid, came after it sought advice from the National Cyber Security Centre, a branch of signals intelligence agency GCHQ, said one of the people, a Whitehall official.
据两位知情人士透露，出于网络安全担忧，英国国家电网(National Grid)已开始从英国输电网络移除由中国政府支持的一家公司供应的组件。
National Grid declined to comment on its previous relationship with NR Electric UK, citing commercial confidentiality, but said it “take[s] the security of its infrastructure very seriously”.
今年4月，英国国家电网决定与中国国电南瑞科技(Nari Technology)的英国子公司终止合同，并开始拆除相关组件。近年西方对中资参与关键国家基础设施进行了全面反思。
