After Germany refused to ban Huawei devices due to a lack of strong evidence to support cyberespionage accusations, Huawei now demands Washington show evidence to support its fears.
“There are no concerns about individual companies,” Peter Altmaier, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, told Reuters on Monday. “But each product, each device must be secure if it is going to be used in Germany.”
The US has led an aggressive international campaign against Huawei and has succeeded in getting Australia, New Zealand and the UK to stop using the devices, while currently pressing Japan, France, Germany and the Czech Republic to consider the threat of Huawei device security.
