[European Commission says it will no longer purchase Huawei ZTE equipment Ministry of Foreign Affairs: presumption of guilt firmly opposes] Financial Associated Press, June 16, according to reports, the European Commission said on the 15th that it is reasonable and legal to exclude Huawei and ZTE from the 5G network. The European Commission believes that Huawei and ZTE obviously pose a higher risk than other 5G suppliers, and the European Commission will no longer purchase equipment from these companies. How do you comment on this? At a regular press conference held by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on June 16, spokesman Wang Wenbin said in response to relevant questions from foreign media reporters that the European Commission said that Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese communications companies had security risks, but could not produce any evidence. This is a typical presumption of guilt. The Chinese side firmly opposes this. Wang Wenbin further said: the fact is that Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese telecommunications enterprises operating in Europe for many years have not only never endangered the security of European countries, but also effectively promoted the development of the European telecommunications field and created considerable economic and social benefits. In the absence of legal basis and factual evidence, the European Commission has openly designated a single entity as a high-risk supplier, which is in the spirit of illegal governance, and is also a blatant violation of the principles of market economy, free trade and fair competition that the European side has always advocated. We strongly urge the EU to abide by international economic and trade rules, avoid pan-politicization and pan-security, and refrain from suppressing enterprises of other countries in the name of security.
