EU must beware Washington's forked tongue

China Daily  

On June 15, the European Commission for the first time labeled Huawei and ZTE as telecom providers that pose a higher security risk to the European Union, declaring that EU member states should also immediately take concrete measures to reduce the risk. The fact is that Chinese telecommunications companies have been operating in Europe for many years, and they have not only never jeopardized European national security, but also vigorously promoted the development of the European telecommunications sector. In the absence of any legal basis and factual evidence, the European Commission's move regarding the Chinese companies violates the spirit of the rule of law and blatantly violates the principles of the market economy, free trade and fair competition that the European side has always touted. For example, in Germany, internal Deutsche Bahn documents obtained exclusively by Der Spiegel show that nearly 800 base stations used for train radio communications in northern Germany alone would need to be replaced if all components supplied by Huawei have to be screened.
