China warns France against treating Huawei

China warned France against treating Huawei Technologies regarding the 5G terms. It also warned that a difference in treatment based on the country of origin would be considered “blatant discrimination” and “disguised protectionism.”

“We do not wish to see the development” in China of Finland’s Nokia and Sweden’s Ericsson being “impacted because of discrimination and protectionism” against Huawei by France and other European countries, the embassy said.

The statement comes as France prepares to auction off the 5G spectrum in April. “Huawei’s 5G equipment are totally safe” and have never presented any “back door” lapses, the statement from the embassy added.

The Chinese embassy in Paris urged France to establish “transparent criteria and treat all companies in a similar way”.
