European Commission Recommends Member States Avoid Huawei and ZTE Equipment

The European Commission has advised member states against using equipment from Chinese technology companies Huawei and ZTE, citing security concerns. The recommendation reflects growing international wariness about Chinese telecommunications infrastructure, with these devices considered potentially risky for national security. The guidance comes as European Union countries continue to evaluate the security implications of Chinese technology in critical telecommunications networks, particularly as they develop 5G infrastructure across the continent.
