More European countries keep doors open to Huawei's 5G tech

An increasing number of European countries are taking an unbiased approach toward the use of Huawei Technologies Co's technologies in their 5G network rollout, despite the US government's efforts to persuade them into banning the Chinese company.

French Junior Economy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher recently said in an interview with local media that France will not follow the United States and exclude China's Huawei from its next-generation 5G network.

On Sunday, German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier also defended the decision not to ban Huawei from participation in Germany's 5G network in a debate.
