Chancellor Angela Merkel has again called for the participation of the Chinese high-tech telecommunications company Huawei in the tender for the assignment of the creation of a 5G network, despite the strong reactions, mainly from the USA.
Ό"Merkel said at the official opening of the auction yesterday."Security issues are not discussed in public"Indirectly responding to the threats of Washington through the US Ambassador to Berlin Richard Grenell, that in case of assignment of the project to Huawei, the cooperation with Germany in the field of intelligence services will be stopped.
The Chancellor also stressed that a company will not be excluded just because it comes from a specific country. After all, he pointed out, so far many countries have used the company's technology and the German government has decided, instead of excluding it, to set strict conditions for the project. "We must give everyone a chance. At the same time, we must not be naive, as China has different rules than Europe.", Added Angela Merkel.
Federal Parliamentary Vice President Thomas Opperman (SPD) also spoke in favor of Huawei's participation in the tender, acknowledging that they are “reliable professionals who offer good technology at affordable prices".
The question is, he added, whether trust in China is justified, which, he said, "is not a rule of law, but a dictatorship", As a result of which the companies are not able to avoid their exploitation by the regime. "That is why it is important that the security conditions are tightened. The 5G network is a critical infrastructure, which we must protect from attacks or manipulation from abroad"Mr Opperman said that Europe should be able to take on this task on its own, with companies such as Ericsson and Nokia.
