Chinese state media calls on EU to reject US government pressure over 5G
As US ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland is tasked with helping to maintain good ties between the United States and the EU. However, he has been busy lately trying to sabotage relations between the EU and China.
Sondland is just one of many US diplomats lobbying and coercing allies to ban China's Huawei Technologies from its 5G networks, to advance US commercial and geopolitical interests.
Huawei has rejected such US accusations, saying the company"has a clean track record on cybersecurity" and is "committed to work with European institutions to develop a cybersecurity standard for Europe".
The truth is, despite desperate US efforts to defame Huawei's reputation and halt its rise, no one has provided any evidence of Chinese intelligence agencies spying with the help of technological backdoors or implants in Chinese-made equipment, whether from Huawei or ZTE, another Chinese telecom giant.
Instead, there is solid evidence following the Edward Snowden whistleblowing revelations that the US National Security Agency has conducted such practices with and without the help of Silicon Valley giants.
