    China may retaliate against Nokia, Ericsson if EU bans Huawei

    China is considering retaliating against telecommunications gear makers Nokia and Ericsson if the European Union follows the US and Britain in banning Huawei Technologies from 5G networks, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

    Britain last week ordered telecoms operators not to purchase 5G components from Huawei from the end of this year and remove all existing gear made by the Chinese telecoms giant from the 5G network by 2027.

    Sweden’s Ericsson and Finland’s Nokia are among the most immediate beneficiaries of the US-led campaign against Huawei.

    The retaliation would be a worst-case scenario that Beijing would use only if European countries came down hard on Chinese suppliers…

    China’s ministry of commerce is looking into export controls that would prevent Nokia and Ericsson from sending products it makes in China to other countries, the Journal reported.

    The retaliation would be a worst-case scenario that Beijing would use only if European countries came down hard on Chinese suppliers and banned them from their 5G networks, one person told the Journal.

    The EU has so far not recommended a ban on Huawei but has issued a so-called “toolbox” of security standards that member states should apply while using suppliers considered to be high risk to build 5G networks.

    Nokia and Ericsson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.  — Reported by Supantha Mukherjee, (c) 2020 Reuters
