Germany said Tuesday it is reviewing tech suppliers such as China's Huawei and ZTE, whose equipment is used in Germany's 5G networks. Europeans are starting to favor a tougher stance on China.
on Monday that Berlin is planning to ban certain components made by Chinese suppliers Huawei and ZTE from use in Germany's 5G networks.compiled by Danish firm Strand Consult found that 59% of the components that made up Germany's 5G radio access network were supplied by Chinese vendors like Huawei and ZTE.
A ban would make Germany the latest European country, albeit the largest economy and with the closest commercial ties, to sour on China. Analysts and experts say this is a trend expected to accelerate in the coming years, as China's ties with the U.S. especially — and the West in general — sour over everything from trade and human rights, to support for Russia in its war in Ukraine, and over Taiwan.
Even before this week's announcement on the Huawei and ZTE review, Germany had already sharpened its stance on China in official documents. But even so, Chancellor Olaf Scholz became the first world leader to visit China's Xi Jinping in November, soon after Xi solidified a third term as secretary of China's Communist Party.
