The Chinese Embassy in Berlin said the PRC was extremely unhappy with reports of the German government’s plans to ban components from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE while expanding 5G networks in the country. It has been reported TASS.
“We have noted reports in the German media that the German government plans to ban Chinese technology companies from participating in key infrastructure construction in Germany,” the diplomatic mission said in a statement.
If this information is correct, it is noted that China is extremely uncomfortable with this hasty decision.
It is emphasized that China strongly opposes the decision of the German authorities to intervene in market relations.
The Chinese Embassy noted that Huawei accounts for about 60% of 5G network equipment in Germany.
On March 6, German media reported, citing sources, that German authorities are headed to ban operators from using components from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE when expanding their 5G networks.
