Huawei: China's State Hackers 'Rigging 5G Tests' Against Nokia And Ericsson

The central theme of the U.S. case against Huawei is the company's alleged links with the Chinese state.

The newspaper reports that China has been "Rigging" 5G equipment testing to discredit Huawei's rivals, including Nokia and Ericsson.

The second area is the shadowy world of national espionage, where Huawei stands accused of either current or potential future collaboration with China's defense and spy agencies.

The 5G testing is due to complete this month and China's hope is that it can be used to inform European assessments of Huawei's suitability for 5G deployments.

Ahead of the recent U.S. blacklisting of Huawei and its affiliates, it had seemed that key European markets, led by Germany, had secured a pass from Washington, where a rigorous testing regime was seen as good enough, with the U.S. publicly stating that they expected Huawei to fail such a test.

Huawei is a very cost-effective option for telecoms execs worldwide, essentially their products give more for less.

U.S. President Donald Trump visits Britain in the coming days and will reportedly threaten to curb intelligence-sharing with its closest ally unless Huawei is cut from the country's 5G plans, both at the core and the edge.
