Dahua and PRC China's Military
Dahua has repeatedly partnered with the PRC's military, creating a custom VMS for the PLA, touting border and 'smart barracks' solutions, exhibiting at a military conference, and earning top PLA supplier status, an IPVM investigation reveals.
Dahua distanced itself from the military in October 2022, stating it is "focused on serving the commercial and civilian markets" in response to the US Department of Defense declaring Dahua a "Chinese Military Company".
Dahua deleted evidence found by IPVM of its past military deals. Dahua told IPVM it "has not sold products or services to the military in China in a number of years" and the "vast majority of Dahua sales are and have always been to non-governmental entities".
In this post, IPVM examines Dahua's PLA deals and partnerships. Similarly, in March 2021, IPVM investigated Hikvision and PRC China's military.
