Today, “no test which demonstrate that Chinese telecommunications service providers create security holes or “backdoors” in the EU member states in which they operate, it says. Jorg Storminternational digital transformation expert and global director of IT infrastructure Mercedes Benz Mobility, in an article posted on his social media.

This expert suggests that the restrictions the EU has placed on companies such as Huawei and ZTE in the 5G market are motivated by their alleged links to the Chinese government, which has raised concerns about creating loopholes and promoting espionage activities. which he says is not proven.

So the storm raises what’s bothering may be based solely on “political motives” and other interests that could be used “to protect companies from foreign competition”. In any case, it should be noted that only 10 out of 27 EU states have adopted non-binding recommendationssince the 5G toolkit was adopted in 2020.

In his article, he emphasizes that “The US has primary jurisdiction over the companies necessary for the operation of the Internet.”. It adds that “Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows the US to force these companies to provide access to the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency to intercept social media conversations.”

Finally, Jörg Storm shows that China “has not banned companies like Nokia and Ericsson. work within its borders”, so that the number of Huawei 5G stations in Europe is lower than that of Ericsson and Nokia in the Chinese telecom markets. In this sense, the expert argues that it “raises doubts about equal treatment and fairness in trade relations.”
