Huawei and ZTE components will no longer be allowed to be used in 5G core networks by the end of 2026 at the latest. The critical management systems of these two manufacturers must be replaced in 5G access and transport networks by the end of 2029 at the latest. The German government has agreed on this with the German mobile operators Telekom, Vodafone, and Telefónica. "We have examined the risks posed by critical components from Chinese manufacturers in German 5G mobile networks very carefully," emphasized Interior Minister Faeser at the press conference at the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs (BMI).

The US already implemented this for any company doing business with the US government, functionally banning their products.

All governments are spying. China, the NSA, etc. I guess they dont want competitive spying.

I find governments moralizing over foreign spies to be hilarious. "How could you!"

I read about that. I know that in the Netherlands, some telecom/ internet parties still seem to use the ZTE hardware but the software has been updated with an "in house written" version.
