EU Says China's Huawei, ZTE Pose Risk to Bloc Security

News 18  

Chinese telecoms giants Huawei and ZTE pose a risk to the EU’s security, the European Commission warned Thursday, as it announced it will no longer use services that rely on the companies. “The commission considers that Huawei and ZTE represent in fact materially higher risks than other 5G suppliers,” the EU’s executive arm said in a statement. The EU’s internal market commissioner, Thierry Breton, called on the 27 member states and telecoms operators to exclude Huawei and ZTE equipment from their mobile networks. “This is too slow, and it poses a major security risk and exposes the union’s collective security, since it creates a major dependency for the EU and serious vulnerabilities,” he said.
