Huawei. Yesterday, Germany was the first important country in Europe, but also in the world, that said it would not ban the 5G equipment of the Chinese company for use with its mobile phone networks. The decision is not to the liking of the Americans, who have threatened Germany that it will deny them access to certain types of information because they could be intercepted by the Chinese government through the products provided by the Huawei company.
Huawei. At the end of last year, the USA initiated a campaign by which it began to ask its allies to ban the products of the Chinese company for their own telecommunications networks, and many agreed. However, Germany has a completely different opinion vis-à-vis the security problems that the Huawei company's products would have, being the first important US ally that refused to make a decision that would please the Americans, at least for now .
Huawei. HARD THREAT Made by the USA AGAINST Germany
Huawei. The big problem of the USA is that it has not yet published evidence to support its claims that the Chinese products would really allow the Beijing government to spy on the communications of other countries. Great Britain and France have not yet taken any decision regarding Huawei products, and if Germany has decided not to ban them, then it is possible that these two important countries will take similar decisions in the not too distant future.
he Trump administration has told the German government it would limit intelligence sharing with Berlin if Huawei Technologies Co. is allowed to build Germany's next-generation mobile-internet infrastructure. In a letter to the country's economics ministry, US Ambassador to Germany Richard A. Grenell wrote allowing the participation of Huawei or other Chinese equipment vendors in the 5G project would mean the US won't be able to maintain the same level of cooperation with German security agencies.
Huawei. The US threat to Germany was made through the ambassador from the European country, and although it targets secret information that the country now receives, the exchange will not be completely stopped between the two allies. I think that the only way in which the US will be able to effectively ban Huawei products in European countries will require the publication of information that will confirm without a doubt that the Chinese government has access to the data transmitted through the products of the company that it clearly controls.
Huawei. Throughout this period, the Chinese company has vehemently denied the accusations brought against it, but of course without any success, because some countries have shown their willingness to ban its products.
