China says US-Poland pact targeting Huawei politicizes 5G

China's Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday the US-Poland agreement targeting Huawei is discriminating and politicizes 5G, besides hampering its development and fair competition, China's Global Times newspaper reported. This week, the US and Poland agreed on a deal to strengthen cooperation on 5G technology, a move that may challenge Huawei's growing influence in Europe.
The agreement did not mention Huawei by name but Poland pledged to carefully review any company interested in building 5G infrastructure. "We must stand together to prevent the Chinese Communist Party from using subsidiaries like Huawei to gather intelligence while supporting China’s military and state security services -- with our technology,” Marc Short, chief of staff to the U.S. vice president Mike Pence said.
