Germany plans to ban telecoms operators from using certain components made by Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE in 5G networks, a government source said, in a potentially significant move to address security concerns.

"We've had 4.5 years of serious debate on Huawei and 5G, and still not come to a conclusion.
