SS: The European Commission is pushing to transform its 2020 non-binding recommendation into a mandatory EU-wide ban on Huawei and ZTE in member states’ 5G and mobile networks, citing persistent security risks from Beijing-linked vendors amid fraying EU-China ties. Vice President Henna Virkkunen seeks binding phase-outs, extensions to fixed-line fiber, and even withholding Global Gateway funds from non-EU nations using Chinese gear—reviving Trump-era pressures as Germany/Finland tighten rules while Spain/Greece lag. With telecoms resisting over cost advantages and China asymmetrically ousting Nokia at home, does this signal Europe’s belated “de-risking” alignment with Washington 2.0, or risk fragmented implementation and Beijing retaliation in a sector where Huawei’s dominance could weaponize critical infrastructure?
