In March, the German Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that will conduct an audit Network devices of Chinese telecommunication giants Huawei and ZTE. Responsible German experts conducted an appropriate investigation and found the possibility of using one of the components of Huawei network devices for a potential violation of the telecommunication systems of Germany or even their full decay.
Berlin was previously criticized by his position by government officials, as well as European security authorities, which warned about the risks associated with Chinese telecommunication equipment. Now, German officials will have to listen to the instructions of “colleagues in the workshop” and reconsider their decisions. It seems that Germany will soon completely refuse to operate Chinese network devices.
Over the past few years, a whole series of Western governments has already warned about the risks of cyberspilation, carried out by the Chinese government in the network infrastructure, which uses the Huawei and ZTE device for its operation.
Currently, the German Ministry of Internal Affairs is a census of devices produced by Chinese suppliers, which are used by national network operators. Their work will be completed in the coming months, and safe analogues will be replaced. It’s scary to think how much this renovation will cost the above operators.
earlier the dangers of the national security of devices Huawei and ZTE were spoke out of the UK, the USA and the European Union, promoting the relevant bills prohibiting the use of the equipment of these suppliers in organizations and objects of critical importance.
The Chinese telecommunication giant Huawei is currently suspended by a number of countries from the construction of its Internet networks based on 5G. These countries included the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Romania and Japan.
However, organizations that are accused of espionage and the presence of direct ties with the Chinese Communist Party have repeatedly denied any connections with the Chinese government, considering all the accusations unfair and baseless. So or not, most countries already prefer not to find out. They simply refuse to use potentially dangerous equipment, preferring local -made devices without such “surprises”.
