German government unlikely to make quick decision on Huawei: source
BERLIN (Reuters) - The German government will probably not take a quick decision on whether to allow China’s Huawei to build Germany’s 5G network, a government source said on Tuesday.
“There will probably not be a quick decision,” the source said.
Huawei, the world’s biggest producer of telecoms equipment, faces intense scrutiny in the West over its relationship with the Chinese government and allegations of enabling state espionage. The United States has called for its allies not to use its technology.
An auction for the next generation 5G mobile network is due to start in the second half of March.
