Actions against Huawei cold war of technology

It was reported on Wednesday that the European Union is considering proposals that would effectively amount to a de facto ban on Huawei's equipment for next-generation mobile networks based on concerns that it might compromise national security. This is just the latest move in a concerted series of attacks on the Chinese telecom giant by the United States and its allies.

By making such allegations, if the European Commission were to amend the definition of critical infrastructure in EU law to include 5G mobile networks, it would effectively prohibit EU businesses from using Huawei equipment on the grounds it might be used for spying or sabotage.

The constant detraction of Huawei has been orchestrated by the US, as part of its pressure tactics to contain China. Having conjured the accusation that the Chinese company represents a national security threat out of thin air, it has roped in its allies as accomplices in its fear mongering. The attacks against Huawei are now unabating and unceasing. Indeed, on the part of the US, they have become increasingly nasty, as shown by the charges announced against the company and some of its representatives by the US Justice Department on Tuesday.
