US should not feel uneasy over Chinese 5G technology

Washington should admit that every country has a justified right to develop and most countries can make their own choices independently, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday.

"More and more people have shown an increasingly just attitude toward Chinese technology companies' participation in 5G network construction. The United States should not feel uneasy about this," ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a news conference in Beijing.

His remarks came after Richard Grenell, US ambassador to Germany, explicitly warned in a letter to German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier dated Friday that the country faces consequences if Huawei participates in its 5G infrastructure.
