The Chinese ambassador to Germany, Wu Ken, claimed that the teutonic nation would face severe retaliation if its government banned Huawei as a supplier of 5G wireless equipment (via Bloomberg). Ambassador Wu specifically pointed out that the Chinese market was an important one for German car manufacturers.
“If Germany were to take a decision that leads to Huawei’s exclusion from the German market, there will be consequences,” Ambassador Wu said at an event on Saturday.
“The Chinese government will not stand idly by.”
The comments come shortly after new proposed legislation would put a ban on “untrustworthy” 5G companies. Though Huawei was not mentioned, many believe that the law was tailored to specifically target the controversial Chinese vendor as the measures come after a fierce debate in the Bundestag about the potential security issues presented by the company.
