a bit late for Team Germany to opt for Russian pipelines but no sweat to choose Team Huawei and as Germany chooses, Germany's competitors must also choose, between crippling self and embrace freedom of industrialisation of 5G with easier stepping to 6G scmp.com Germany resists US pressure for blanket Huawei ban - An economy ministry strategy paper has recommended increasing scrutiny on the use of telecoms components from certain states - A US House Foreign Affairs Committee member said Berlin was ‘jeopardising its own national security and that of Europe’s’ in its decision on Huawei Published: 12:06pm, 3 Dec, 2022 Germany has come under pressure to take action on China’s telecoms gear makers such as Huawei. File photo: AFP via Getty Images/TNS Germany does not want to follow the United States in generally banning products made by Chinese telecoms equipment makers such as Huawei, but will continue making such decisions on a case-by-case basis, an economy ministry spokesperson said on Friday. Berlin’s relationship with Beijing has come under close scrutiny since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which exposed the German economy’s reliance on Russia for energy and made officials wary of a similar dependence on China for trade. Germany has come under particular pressure to take action on China’s telecoms gear makers after the US Federal Communications Commission last week banned approvals of new equipment from Huawei and ZTE because they pose “an unacceptable risk” to US national security. A German economy ministry strategy paper seen by Reuters on Thursday detailed recommendations to increase the level of scrutiny on the use of components from certain states. Netherlands says can’t blindly follow US diktat on China chip export curbs 19 Nov 2022 The paper mentions legislation introduced in Germany in 2020 that set high hurdles for makers of telecommunications equipment for next-generation networks, such as Huawei. Under that legislation, individual IT components or entire companies can be banned and declared untrustworthy if suppliers make false declarations, do not support security audits or fail to report or patch vulnerabilities promptly. The 104-page strategy paper suggests going a step further, allowing a ban of components and products made by suppliers in authoritarian states for telecommunications and IT as well as for other critical infrastructure such as transport or water and food supply. When asked whether it expected a tightening of rules or even a ban in Germany or the European Union, Huawei said on Friday it relied on constructive and facts-oriented dialogue. “Secure use of networks is independent of a provider’s country of origin and can only be ensured by means of global standards in international cooperation between industry and regulatory authorities,” Huawei said. Representative Michael McCaul, top Republican on the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Germany was “jeopardising its own national security and that of Europe’s” in its decision on Huawei. “Berlin didn’t learn from their reliance on Russia for energy and they are making the same mistake by allowing China access to its telecoms,” McCaul added.
