“The uprising has ended!” Germany’s “World News” reported on the 12th that the German ruling party CDU and its sister party CDU adopted documents on Tuesday that do not bar Chinese Huawei companies from participating in Germany’s 5G network construction. “Following the United Kingdom, Germany also decided not to ban Huawei,” which attracted the attention of Western media.

Germany’s current federal government consists of the Alliance Party and the Social Democratic Party, of which the Alliance Party consists of the CDU and the CDU, and German Chancellor Merkel belongs to the CDU. The newspaper said that the position paper aims to alleviate doubts among dissidents in the two sister parties regarding Huawei as a threat to national security and lay the foundation for Merkel’s coalition government to adopt a common position on 5G. The document states that Germany should not impose a separate ban on any company when building the latest ultra-high-speed network.”A country with sufficient resources can penetrate into the network of any equipment manufacturer. Even with a comprehensive technical inspection, security risks cannot be completely eliminated-at best they can be minimized.” The document recommends that the German government take measures against foreign suppliers. Stricter safety regulations.  “Voice of Germany” said on the 12th that German government officials such as Merkel have been opposed to the ban on Huawei, while a group of pro-American lawmakers led by the head of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee Rotgen demanded that ban on Huawei, and the differences of opinion between the two sides be eliminated. This is an important step forward in this discussion.

Reuters said on the 11th that the release of this document indicates that Germany has rejected the voice of the United States calling on its allies to ban Huawei. The British government has also officially announced that it will not ban Huawei 5G, and the EU also supports Huawei’s actions based on rules. “Voice of the United States” on the 11th quoted Jacob Kirkgard, a senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in the United States, as saying that Germany’s decision could have a significant impact on other EU countries. Political influence aside, Germany accounts for the EU’s 5G market. The fact that about 30% of the shares are “sufficient for EU operators to follow”.

At present, only Australia among the western powers has explicitly stated that it follows the United States and bans Huawei from participating in its 5G network construction. Canada’s “Global Post” said on the 11th that the Canadian government has not yet made a decision on this issue. However, the country’s latest polls show that about 56% of Canadians support the ban on Huawei, which is a 13% decrease from 2019.
