Appears more and more like the telecom pariah
US lobbying to press their allies to ban Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant, from their 5G network has paid off in Berlin? Or is it the concern expressed within the country itself? Still, the German government has "turned around" in its approach, notes the Financial Times, while Berlin had been shown until then "more skeptical than the United Kingdom against the American claims that society Shenzhen-based was linked to the Chinese state ".
For the time being, no decision has been taken, but the German authorities are studying the possibility of excluding Huawei from the 5G network that will soon be deployed across the Rhine. "The discussion is in full swing in the federal government," reports Handelsblatt. The frequencies must be allocated in the spring in Germany.
Australia and New Zealand have already banned Huawei from this 5G network, which has to offer a higher bandwidth for mobile telecommunications. The Japanese government, meanwhile, gave up all equipment of the Chinese group.
