Despite the US convincing the allies
about potential risks from Huawei, Russia has welcomed the company to
partner with them in developing next-generation wireless technology.
Both Russia and Huawei has signed a deal on Thursday stating that the
company will start providing 5G services in Russia. Xi Jinping,
president of China has signed this deal.
America’s Ban Divides The World Into Two Groups
The
recent ban imposed by America on Huawei has a great impact. The world
will now be divided into two parts, countries supporting Huawei and the
countries that won’t. American authorities are saying that accepting
Huawei services are nothing less than providing a surveillance option
for the Chinese government. While Huawei has denied this allegation, the
company is trying to make more market in the countries.
Other
countries across the world are under tremendous pressure of whether to
accept the company or not. America is pressing its allies like Germany
and Britain to ban the company altogether.
Huawei’s vice president for privacy and cybersecurity, Mike Lauhde told that the decision of America made collateral damage in US-China Trades.
The feud went on another level when China’s Commerce Ministry said that
they will make their own list of unreliable foreign companies.
Russia
has already started the 5G network by associating with the Finnish
company Nokia. Rostelecom, Russian Telephone Company is already building
a testing area for high-speed internet.
It
is still unclear whether Russia will have the 5G network or not as the
military has denied freeing the required radio frequencies. Russia is
trying to build an economic tie-up with Russia keeping aside the
Moscow-Beijing tension.
