The United States calls on allies not to use Chinese communications equipment manufacturer Huawei 5G network equipment. However, after the UK and New Zealand , Germany may not follow.
According to Taiwan's Juheng Network on February 20, the German Ministry of Interior said on the 19th that Germany is not ready to rule out Huawei's 5G equipment, and may also amend the law to open up the procurement of potentially untrustworthy manufacturers' equipment.
reported that Bjorn Grunewalder, spokesman for the German Ministry of Interior (BMI), issued a statement by email, claiming that the government is seeking to adjust the telecommunications networks to deal with "new potential threats."
"directly excludes specific 5G equipment manufacturers, which are currently illegal and do not have this plan. For BMI, the focus is on adjusting necessary security requirements to ensure the security of these networks, even from untrustworthy manufacturers."
Goronward added that Germany's Telecommunications Act will add some necessary security requirements, and relevant federal departments are discussing how to adjust them, but there are no final changes.
reported that after the news that the British government believes that "no need" to rule out Huawei and the New Zealand government's change of words "not" to rule out Huawei, the German government is even willing to revise the law to open the door for Huawei, which is undoubtedly a major blow to the United States, which is working hard to crack down on China's 5G equipment.
It is reported that currently the same team as Trump includes Australia, Japan, etc., all of which have eliminated Huawei's 5G equipment supplier qualifications on the grounds of "national security".
In this regard, Huawei repeatedly denied that Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei blew on the 219th, saying that Huawei has more advanced technology and the world cannot do without Huawei. "The United States cannot crush us."
report pointed out that the ultra-high-speed 5G action network is expected to subvert the digital economy, and new technologies such as autonomous driving rely on higher-speed transmission, so 5G technology has also become the key to China and the United States in the next century.
Former US national security adviser James Jones said on the 17th that the United States lags behind China in promoting 5G technology to the world.
According to Hong Kong Toutiao Finance Network on February 20, German officials said that recent investigations with the United States and others have not found that Huawei was able to steal confidential information through devices, nor did it show that Huawei had made any mistakes. Germany may not completely ban Huawei from participating in the construction of 5G network .
reported that since Germany began auctioning 5G network spectrum at the end of March, local officials believe that it is urgent to build a low-cost 5G network as soon as possible to catch up with the distance from other countries, so it is closer to allowing Huawei to participate in the construction of 5G networks.
It is reported that Huawei will work closely with the German government and is willing to sign a statement promising to not engage in cyber espionage, and also support raising cybersecurity standards.
It is reported that the German Ministry of Interior has stated that it will not exclude any suppliers, but when building 5G networks, it hopes to cope with potential threats. Earlier on the 19th, according to the " Wall Street Journal ", German Minister of Economy and Energy Peter Altmeier said that after meeting with French Finance Minister Le Maire, he also said that he was still discussing the matter with other departments and no final decision has yet to be made.
