| There aren't any EU level bans - I don't think the EU government has authority for that. What currently exist is a lot of controversy around using Huawei in Europe: * Huawei products banned from being used by all of Spain's Department of Defense projects and personnel:
https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/e4ntuk/huawei_smartp... * Angela Merkel Faces Part revolt over allowing Huawei to build 5G: https://www.dw.com/en/angela-merkel-faces-party-revolt-over-... * Germany Intelligence Services argues that Huawei cannot be trusted: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-29/german-sp... and many more. This is enough to nudge public opinion in one particular direction (Huawei == evil), and politicians sometimes do what voters want over here. This is obviously a quite brittle status quo, and one or two impactful articles here and there about how the US / NSA "collect data" on EU citizens might be enough to turn the wind the other way. The real news behind all of these articles is that China is now perfectly able to compete with the US technology companies at this particular level. That's interesting because for many countries, depending on the US for most of their electronics is a big risk worth minimizing, so I expect a shift from a US dominated industry to a balance between US and Chinese technologies being integrated in these countries. Nobody wants to exclusively depend on China either. |
The links you posted show that government departments in a couple of EU countries refuse to use Huawei, nothing more...
