Nokia CEO urges Europe to consider banning Huawei and ZTE amid over security reasons and a shrinking China market share for European vendors

Nokia, along with Ericsson, has faced significant barriers in China, where authorities have reportedly told Nordic vendors that they will be excluded on national security grounds

European operators still rely heavily on Huawei, raising geopolitical and security concerns

Huawei has already been banned or restricted from supplying 5G equipment to 10 European Union (EU) countries, as well as the U.K.

Most recently, both Huawei and ZTE components were barred from 5G networks in Germany

“Why do we [Europeans] allow high-risk vendors in Europe when we have less than 3% of the market share in China?” Hotard questioned. “European operators should provide European vendors with the same opportunities that Chinese companies receive at home," Nokia CEO Justin Hotard.

No argument with that statement, but Nokia's calls for action here are not impartial.

Explain? Does it map with any sentiment? Europe is already sceptical about Chinese hardware in critical infrastructure, and not without reason. Ofcourse they have a self interest. The alternative is not saying anything and have already sceptical politicians explaining that yes, Chinese hardware in critical systems is a security flaw for western nations. Nokia is not in dire need of selling 5G gear, and even if they were, would that make Chinese hardware in critical systems of western nations a critical flaw be any less true?

No one in this context is impartial. This is why China - in an impartial move - banned Nokia from its domestic market citing national security reasons. It should go without debate that Europe does the same and banning Chinese companies for the very same reason. Beijing will understand, no?

It must be noted that China has been a 'closed shop' for decades, but for then or so years it has been shielding its domestic markets more than ever.
