Sweden Banned 5G Erection from Huawei Due to the National Security, China Opposed the Abuse of the Idea of “National Security”

Following the US and the UK banning Chinese companies Huawei from building 5G networks, Sweden Postal and Telecommunications Administration announced today (20th October) that they decided to prohibit Huawei and ZTE from participating in the local 5G network erection. They also required the local telecom to remove all equipment produced by Huawei and ZTE from existing core functional devices before 2025.

Sweden will have an auction of the 5G spectrum next month. Klas Friberg, the Head of the Domestic Security Service of Sweden, described China as one of the biggest threats in Sweden, referring to China’s large-scale collection of intelligence, theft of technology and research to assist its economic development and military strength. He also worried that allowing Chinese entrepreneurs to participate in the local 5G network erection was hard to guarantee their national security.
