US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said anti-Huawei tides are occurring around the world on the 24th (local time).

In a statement, Pompeio said, "Tides are shifting towards a reliable fifth-generation mobile telecommunications (5G) equipment supplier." Citizens around the world turn their backs on Huawei as they open their eyes to the dangers of the Communist Party's surveillance state There is."

The United States has urged Huawei, China's largest telecommunications equipment maker, to face various sanctions on account of national security concerns and to prevent other countries and telecommunications companies from using Huawei's equipment.

"The deal with telecommunications companies around the world is disappearing," Pompeio cited as examples in the Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, Estonia, Romania, Denmark, Latvia and Greece.

In addition, some of the world's largest carriers are also participating, citing Korea's SKT and KT along with cases from France, India, Australia, Japan, and the UK.

The reason is that these carriers are not using Huawei equipment.

"A few weeks ago, three major telecommunications companies in Canada decided to partner with Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung," he said. "Because public opinion is overwhelmingly opposed to allowing Huawei to build Canada's 5G network."

He said, "The more countries, companies, and citizens have questions about whom to trust in dealing with the most sensitive data, the clearer the answer will be. "This is not the CCP's watchdog state."
