Germany looks to ban Huawei from 5G

[F-22Raptor]

Germany is looking at how to stop the use of Huawei products in the build of its 5G network, making it the latest western country to clamp down on the company over mounting security concerns.

The German government is considering introducing security requirements for 5G, the next generation of mobile communications, that would be harder for Huawei to meet. The initiative was first reported by the German daily Handelsblatt.


A statement from the economics ministry said the security of the future 5G network and the safety of products offered by different telecommunications suppliers was “highly relevant” for the German government, and it would be “guided” by such concerns in its buildout of the network.


But it also stressed that no decision had yet been taken on concrete measures. The German move came at a time when the US has been actively lobbying countries to ban Huawei from developing 5G mobile phone networks on national security grounds, arguing that its technology can be used by the Chinese government for spying or cyber attacks.

China must be doing something right if the US is ordering its European slaves not to use Chinese tech!

HUGE WIN FOR TRUMP!!

It isn't going to help US companies any since they would use Ericsson from Sweden instead. It just isn't Huawei (nor At&T and Verizon)

If Germany nixes Huawei the dominoes will start falling. Ericsson will be thrilled.

The lost of Korean and Vietnam war is still lingering in their minds.

Besides you are still fuming about Taiwan daily...a perpetual humiliation...but humiliation is something you have lived with for far longer than 100 years.

Unlike Canada and Poland, Germany is vulnerable if China makes some retaliatory policies. Its economy highly relies on China market.

That's the whole idea. Get China to retaliate so they aren't as reliant.

The only question is, there is no other market that can substitute China market. Will America import EXTRA tens millions cars each year? It will work if so

They were building consumer cars for over 100 years before they started selling cars to Chinese customers. They'll be fine.

You have to realize China is new to the world consumer market. You missed everything.

Germans had several thousand $ per capita GDP back to the without-China age. Are you sure they will be fine if Germans go back to that age?

I'm pretty sure they know that as Chinese car companies go from selling pure junk to reasonably reliable cars their market share will go down.
