REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BEIJING -- Chinese telecoms and Internet giant Huawei condemned the US National Security Agency on Monday after reports revealed the organization had been secretly tapping the company's networks for years.

The New York Times and Germany's Der Spiegel said on Saturday that the NSA had accessed Huawei's email archive, communications between top company officials, and even the secret source code of some of its products.

The reports were based on documents provided by fugitive NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

"If the actions in the report are true, Huawei condemns such activities that invaded and infiltrated into our internal corporate network and monitored our communications," Roland Sladek, Huawei's vice president for international affairs, said in a statement.
