Beijing mocks possible Huawei law

Initially, the Chinese government responded to the headlines with silence. Only late Tuesday evening did it release a first statement via its embassy in Berlin: “In recent years, countries and anti-China forces have continued to attempt to smear Huawei with trumped-up charges, but there has never been any evidence that Huawei equipment and components pose security risks.” If media reports of a ban on Chinese 5G equipment turn out to be true, the Chinese side is very puzzled and strongly dissatisfied with the hasty decision.
