Germany "considers Huawei's ban" in a context of global reaction

According to reports, Germany plans to block Huawei from its next-generation mobile network.

Berlin is studying stricter security requirements that could prevent the use of Huawei products on its 5G network.

Many countries have argued against the involvement of the Chinese technology company in their 5G networks for security reasons.

Networks represent the next big wave of mobile infrastructure.

Chinese society, one of the world's largest producers of telecommunications equipment, has faced resistance from foreign governments to the risk of its technology being used for espionage.

Huawei has denied allegations that it poses a risk of espionage.

The German Ministry of the Interior had previously stated that it opposed the ban of any provider of its 5G network.

But according to reports, it might consider stricter security requirements and other ways to exclude Huawei.

Such an approach would align it with that of other Western countries.

The Australian government has banned Huawei from providing 5G technology to its wireless networks, while New Zealand has blocked a proposal to use its telecommunication equipment for national security reasons.

The United States and the United Kingdom shared their concerns with Huawei, which was also discussed in Japan and Korea.

The United States would also be investigating Huawei for "stealing trade secrets" from US companies and have accused it of violating the penalties by lying about their activities in Iran .

On Thursday, Oxford University suspended Huawei's new donations and sponsorships in the light of "public concerns" about partnerships with the company.
