LONDON\/BRUSSELS: Britain's decision to ban China's Huawei<\/a> from its 5G network<\/a> increases further pressure on EU countries to impose stricter limits on the world's largest telecoms equipment maker just as the company expands its footprint across Europe.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the Huawei ban<\/a> on Tuesday, frustrating Beijing but pleasing Washington, which had pushed Britain to reverse a January decision to grant Huawei a limited role in its 5G rollout.
The about-face follows anger in London at China's crackdown on Hong Kong and the view that Beijing has not told the full truth over coronavirus<\/a>. It also reflects the impact of new U.S. sanctions on chip technology, which London says affects Huawei's ability to remain a reliable supplier.
Europe now finds itself front and centre of the U.S. drive to uproot Huawei from next-generation mobile networks.
Robert O'Brien, the U.S. national security adviser, arrived in Paris on Monday for three days of talks with his counterparts from France, Germany, Italy and Britain. Washington has made clear that 5G networks are on the agenda.
EU 'TOOLBOX' NEEDS OVERHAUL
In January, the European Union published a \"toolbox\" of recommendations for its 27 member states, saying they could either \"restrict or exclude\" so-called high-risk 5G vendors, such as Huawei, from core parts of their telecoms network.
The recommendations fell short of the ban sought by the United States; in several EU countries Huawei remains closely involved in both existing 4G<\/a> networks and the planned rollout of 5G, including in Sweden, Spain, Austria and Hungary.
The head of France's cybersecurity authority has ruled out a total ban on Huawei, and Germany's Deutsche Telekom, Huawei's largest customer in Europe, has argued firmly against any blanket ban on individual vendors.
But since the European Commission<\/a> published its toolbox there have been significant geopolitical developments, including the spread of COVID from China, hardnosed diplomacy by Beijing that has angered some EU governments, the imposition of China's new security law in Hong Kong and the U.S. chip-tech sanctions.
A senior EU diplomat said some countries were now worried the Commission guidelines did not go far enough to limit dependence on Huawei, and the distinction between 'core', meaning critical parts of 5G networks that Huawei should be excluded from, and 'non-core' was \"not as robust as we thought\".
\"EU member states do seem to be increasingly doubtful about Huawei,\" the official said. \"The standard view is heading towards giving maybe just a very small role to Huawei [for 5G].\"
A lot is likely to depend on the view Germany takes. If Berlin decides to give the go-ahead for Huawei to play a significant role in its 5G network, even if only in 'non-core' areas, it would provide cover for smaller, less influential countries to adopt a similar approach.
The German government is not expected to make a decision on its 5G rules until September. While Deutsche Telekom backs Huawei, Germany's head of foreign intelligence has said the Chinese firm cannot be trusted and should not play a major role.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has long advocated \"change through trade\", arguing that China can become a more trusted partner through engagement. But she is finding it harder to make that case as China takes a steadily tougher line on Hong Kong and broader geopolitics across Asia and the Middle East.
China did not immediately respond to Britain's decision on Huawei, or send any wider signals to the European Union, but the company itself said it was \"bad news\" and would be damaging to British mobile customers.
\"It threatens to move Britain into the digital slow lane,\" a spokesman for Huawei UK<\/a> said. \"We remain confident that the new U.S. restrictions would not have affected the resilience or security of the products we supply to the UK.\"

伦敦/布鲁塞尔:英国禁止中国的决定华为从它的5 g网络增加更大的压力在欧盟国家实施更严格的限制,世界上最大的电信设备制造商,就像欧洲公司扩大自己的地盘。
总理鲍里斯·约翰逊宣布华为的禁令周二,北京但取悦华盛顿令人沮丧,推动英国改变1月决定授予华为在其5 g推出有限的作用。
改变之前的愤怒在中国打击香港和伦敦认为北京没有告诉全部真相冠状病毒。这也反映出美国新制裁芯片技术的影响,伦敦说影响华为的能力仍然是一个可靠的供应商。
欧洲现在发现自己前面和中心美国开车离开华为的下一代移动网络。
美国国家安全顾问罗伯特•奥布莱恩周一抵达巴黎,开始为期三天的会谈与来自法国、德国、意大利和英国。华盛顿已经明确表示,5 g网络提上议事日程。
欧盟“工具箱”需要改革
今年1月,欧盟发表的“工具箱”,建议其27个成员国,说他们可以“限制或排除“所谓高风险5 g供应商,如华为、电信网络的核心部分。
建议的禁令的美国;在一些欧盟国家华为仍密切参与现有4 g5 g的网络和计划的推出,包括在瑞典,西班牙,奥地利和匈牙利。
法国的网络安全部门负责人排除全面禁止华为,和德国的德意志电信,华为在欧洲最大的客户,提出坚决反对任何全面禁止个人供应商。
但由于欧洲委员会公布了工具箱有重大地缘政治的发展,包括传播COVID来自中国,北京这激怒了一些欧盟国家政府蛮横的外交,中国实施的新的安全法律在香港和美国chip-tech制裁。
一位欧盟高级外交官表示,一些国家现在担心欧盟委员会指南还远远不够限制依赖华为,和“核心”之间的区别,这意味着5 g网络的关键部分,华为应该排除在外,而“非核心”是“不像我们认为的那么强劲”。
“欧盟成员国似乎越来越怀疑华为,”这位官员说。“标准的观点是朝着给华为可能只是一个很小的角色(5克)。”
很多德国需要很可能取决于视图。如果柏林决定放行给华为5 g网络扮演了一个重要的角色,即使只是在“非核心”领域,它将提供覆盖较小,不影响国家采取类似的方法。
德国政府预计不会决定其5 g规则到九月。虽然德国电信支持华为,德国的外国情报负责人说,中国公司不能信任,不应该发挥重要作用。
德国总理安格拉•默克尔(Angela Merkel)一直主张“改变通过贸易”,认为中国可以通过参与成为一个更加值得信赖的合作伙伴。但她发现很难使这种情况下中国不断强硬的路线在香港在亚洲和中东地区和更广泛的地缘政治。
中国没有立即回复英国的决定在华为,欧盟或发送任何广泛的信号,但该公司本身说,这是“坏消息”,将会损害英国移动客户。乐动扑克
“这威胁英国进入数字慢车道,”一位发言人华为英国说。“我们仍然相信,新的美国限制不会影响产品的弹性或安全我们供应英国。”
