BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser is concerned about the close ties between Deutsche Telekom and Chinese company Huawei and wants to examine them, Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Wednesday.
“That doesn’t look good,” Faeser was quoted as saying by the paper.
Germany is considering banning certain components from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE in its telecoms networks, a government source said, in a potentially significant move to address security concerns.
