All of Europe should start doing the same.
If only we were warned about the potential dangers of this.
Good. Fuck China
I don’t want to venture too deep into the conspiracy rabbit hole, but…. Kind of strange there was a Pandemic from China that gave them the opportunity to sell so many masks, tests, and other supplies to the world… and at the very start of the pandemic when everyone is locked in, Europe also decides to install a giant internet grid with mostly Chinese supplies as well… both things sort of forced upon the population without public consent. Seems China and corrupt EU politicians planned that out ahead of time..
The accusations of chinese back doors are several years old and now they are examining it?
Better late than never, but it should have be done from day 1 of the accusations.
Germany is one of the only country which allowed Huawey to be part of the 5G network owner in their country.
– In Finland and Sweden, it’s Ericssen and Nokia
– in France it’s Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom et Free
– in UK Huawei was banned from the public offer
On the other side 60% of the 5G network is operated by Huawei in Germany. Germany was strongly against a ban of Huawei mostly because it was costier.

I mean better late than never.
Not only Chinese components should be examined.
Remember that the [NSA planted backdoors in the widely used CISCO equipment](https://www.infoworld.com/article/2608141/snowden–the-nsa-planted-backdoors-in-cisco-products.html)
All new 5G routers are Chinese. At least in Poland.
