International tensions are on the rise as  Germany contemplates restricting the use of components from Chinese Tech giants Huawei and ZTE 5G Network.

The Chinese Embassy in Berlin has issued a stern warning by stating that China will not stand idly if Germany precedes with this decision without proving a security threat.

The statement was quoted from the email sent, “if the German Government really decides to move in this direction without proving that Chinese products pose a security threat to Germany, we will not stand by idly.”

The statement further added, “Should Germany unjustifiably exclude companies, this would not only be a violation of the Principle of fair competition, but would also harm Chinese companies and Germany itself.”

 Germany’s interior ministry has proposed restrictions after a review highlighted the country’s heavy reliance on these Chinese suppliers. The outcome of this debate significantly impact not only Germany’s 5G Network, but also international relations.
