China News Agency, Berlin, June 10 (Reporter Peng Dawei) Chinese Ambassador to Germany Wu Ken recently accepted a written interview with China News Agency reporters in response to Huawei's 5G issues. He said that Huawei has worked closely with Deutsche Telekom and other German operators for nearly 20 years. It is hoped that the German side will maintain an objective and impartial attitude and make independent choices in accordance with its own interests to provide an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for enterprises in various countries, including Chinese companies. He emphasized that he believes that the German side can make an informed decision, because this is consistent with the German side's own development interests and the basic principles of the market economy.
According to German media reports, Deutsche Telekom recently expressed its strong willingness to strengthen cooperation with Huawei to promote the construction of 5G networks in Germany. Several other major telecommunications operators in Germany, such as Vodafone and Telefonica Germany, are also using Huawei technology and equipment to build their own 5G networks.
Talking about the US attack on Huawei, Wu Ken said that on the 5G issue, the US government insisted on suppressing Huawei and accused its products of being unsafe without any evidence, restricting US companies to sell products and technologies to Huawei. This not only damages the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, but also the interests of American companies, severely interferes with normal scientific and technological exchanges and trade between the two countries and the world, and damages the global industrial chain and supply chain. Obviously, the real intention of the US is to weaken the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises, maintain its own technological advantages and the "American first" concept.
"We believe that under the background of economic globalization, the development and utilization of 5G technology should be the process and product of the consultation and construction of all countries." Wu Ken emphasized that China attaches great importance to strengthening 5G network security and is willing to build a network of mutual trust and cooperation with all parties. Safe environment. All countries have the need to maintain the security of their own information infrastructure, but this issue should not be politicized and instrumentalized as a reason to suppress other countries' enterprises.
