In the midst of the U.S.’s continued pressure on the EU nations to bar Huawei, the Chinese tech giant promised to establish manufacturing hubs in Europe. This announcement follows the EU’s recommendation that member states ban telecoms operators considered a security risk from involvement in their 5G networks.
“Huawei is more committed to Europe than ever before,” said Huawei executive Abraham Liu during a Lunar New Year reception in Brussels.
According to Liu that commitment is the motivation behind the decision, adding that the company wants to deliver “5G for Europe made in Europe.”
