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

You first have to prove me wrong on Huawei and ZTE claims before you get me to consider any bias. What you said is only true if allegations are wrong (they're not). Besides there are plenty of other 5G providers. Nokia is a strong company. Their self interest is our (mine) interest (as I am European). I don't see any problem

Are you serious? A company's primary goal is to sell its product or service. If a company can cite any reasons for customers to NOT choose the competitor's products (legitimate or not reasons) they have an interest in doing so. I don't know what more obvious conflict of interest could possibly exist.

You should always consider bias nomatter how right someone may be.
