When the United States wanted to restrict Huawei and ZTE and other communication devices, many countries did not keep a distance from such restrictions. For example, countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany. Although the intention of regret was more or less revealed in the subsequent period, the actual actions did not change significantly. Therefore, when the US restricted five Chinese companies this time and once again pulled Huawei and others on the blacklist, industry insiders generally believed that the US ban would cause other further restrictions.
But what people didn't expect was that Germany had a different attitude. According to official information, Germany said it would not follow the example of the US's approach to ban Huawei completely, but would make a decision based on the specific situation. Although there is no clear statement, Huawei cannot help but change, in fact, Germany's attitude has changed from before.
However, although Germany's attitude is positive, it is intriguing.
Let’s review the beginning of the matter of choosing Huawei communication device . At the beginning, Germany did not intend to ban Huawei, and even once a signal to give Huawei a green light. Some people familiar with the matter also revealed that at the end of 2019, Deutsche Telekom will use Huawei as its main supplier of 5G and have made some progress in negotiations. It is obvious that as long as nothing unexpected happens, Huawei can spread the 5G technology in the German market.
However, under certain pressure, their adoption of Huawei orders was temporarily stranded. Even later, senior executives warned Deutsche Telecom - "Once it is banned, don't apply for compensation." The implication is that Deutsche Telecom will not make many things first, otherwise if it is banned, they will lose. It can be seen that although there was no clear ban at that time, the signal that Huawei was about to be included in the "blacklist" was very obvious.
But now, when the US ban has been upgraded again and it is also intending to continue to win over these countries that were originally shaking, Germany has shown a clear attitude of not following. You should know that it was because of pressure at the beginning. Germany repeatedly chose another attitude, but now it is still under pressure, but Germany has changed its face. This attitude is really interesting.
However, the editor guessed that this change in attitude was because he tasted the bitter fruit of banning Huawei?
In 2020, Deutsche Telekom had a document that stated that if Huawei was disabled, it would take at least 5 years to remove existing Huawei devices, which would result in at least 3 billion euros of losses. In fact, Deutsche Telecom only said half of the time, and the dismantling of funds will be required, and subsequent re-selecting still requires funds. , and Huawei's equipment accounts for 50% of Deutsche Telecom's existing equipment. It can be said that if it is removed, it will be a lifeline - "huge amount of funds, communication services in some areas are interrupted, etc.." In short, this is really a thankless thing.
Now several years have passed, and Germany has changed this attitude. I personally think that it is highly likely that it has tasted the bitter fruit of banning Huawei. Of course, there is another factor, that is, under the US-led dismantling of communication equipment such as Huawei, many operators in the United States are using Huawei equipment. To some extent, their "ban" has not had much effect. If Germany dives in at this time, they will probably be the ones who will lose in the future.
