According to foreign media reports, on September 29 local time, Huawei officially stated that it had appealed against the Swedish court’s decision to dismiss Huawei’s lawsuit in June.
As we all know, with the beginning of the US imperial lobbying allies to exclude Huawei's 5G, some originally neutral countries began to waver, such as Sweden .
In October last year, the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Administration announced that all companies that use Huawei and ZTE 5G equipment will be prohibited from participating in Sweden’s 5G spectrum auctions and require the country’s telecom operators to do so in January 2025. All Huawei equipment was moved before. reason is that there is a "security threat" in Huawei's 5G network.
Sweden’s decision is the second European country to announce that Huawei is clearly excluded after the United Kingdom.
Regarding the actions of the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Administration, Huawei immediately responded and said: Huawei was surprised and disappointed by the actions of relevant Swedish authorities. Huawei has been operating in Europe for more than 20 years and has never had any security incidents. The accusations made in Sweden have no "factual basis" at all, but "completely based on unfounded assumptions." Huawei considers it unfair and unacceptable.
Therefore, in response to the "crime" and arrogant attitude of the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Administration, Huawei has brought the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Administration to court.
The Swedish court accepted Huawei’s lawsuit and in November last year suspended the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Administration’s restrictions on Huawei.
However,Even with the intervention of the court, the Swedish Post and Telecommunications Administration's determination to exclude Huawei will still not be changed. In the 5G spectrum auction in Sweden in January this year, the Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Administration still excluded Huawei and ZTE.
In June of this year, the Swedish court ruled against Huawei’s lawsuit. Regrettably, the court upheld the ban on Huawei’s 5G in Sweden. After receiving the verdict at that time, Huawei immediately stated that it would further strive to defend its rights and would not give up its efforts to enter the Swedish market.
As expected, Huawei has recently appealed the decision of the Swedish court in June this year. Huawei's perseverance and appeal again, Maizi believes that it contains at least the two intentions of and Ren Zhengfei .
First, as Huawei said before, it will not give up striving to enter the Swedish market.
In Europe, Sweden is the first country to establish 5G rules. Sweden has always claimed that it advocates fair, free, and non-discriminatory attitudes and open cooperation. From the outside world, Sweden announced that Huawei was banned at the time and had a strong attitude towards Huawei. The impact of Huawei’s 5G is very large, and it is likely to drive other European countries to exclude Huawei’s 5G, which will seriously hinder Huawei’s 5G expansion in the European market.
Huawei's persistent move to the Swedish market, On the one hand, if Huawei can win a round in Sweden, it will change the attitude of other European countries towards Huawei 5G; on the other hand, it can be further demonstrated Huawei's attitude, strength and authority.
Second, obviously, this appeal is a competition between Huawei and Ericsson .
At the beginning, Sweden insisted on excluding Huawei. The first company in Sweden to stand up for Huawei publicly was Ericsson.
Ericsson declared at the time that: Sweden’s decision against Huawei may adversely affect the economic interests of Sweden and related industries in Sweden, including Ericsson.
As expected, in the results of the wireless network equipment bidding for China Mobile in July this year, Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE won 60% of the market share, while Ericsson won only 2% of the market share. The portion of "soup". Even American media columnists commented: is shut out of the world's largest market, undoubtedly it will have to pay a heavy price.
If Ericsson wants to develop better in China and gain a higher share, then Sweden, the owner of Ericsson, must open its market to Chinese companies such as Huawei. If this is not possible, then Sweden's own old-fashioned communications company Ericsson will also suffer a serious setback, because China is Ericsson's most important market in the world.
It can be seen that Huawei is full of confidence in appealing to Sweden. If the appeal fails, Ericsson should be the one who is most worried about, and it will not have a good life in the Chinese market. Sweden needs to weigh in.
