#2- Hey, who's that guy sitting behind you in the corner?
- Oh, just an American friend, don't mind him, bitte.

#3It's easy to point at Huawei and say 'they are not trustworthy'. The question is, what alternatives are out there and can they deliver?

Nokia and Ericsson are the other big 5G vendors. I don't know of any problems in their ability to deliver.

#5> An outright ban on Huawei is seen as legally impossible, but German officials are looking at tools that would have the same effect.
How can 'tools' with the effect of a ban be legal, when a ban isn't?

Besides both are old companies with solid reputations in two stable democracies.

#7Why they are so obssesed with 5g?! One traveling on the Berlin S-Bahn ring receives EDGE mobile connection. Let me guess - the only trustworthy and reliable partner is T-Mobile?

Write the requirements such that the company has no chance to comply with them.

Ericsson, has big parts of their 5G R&D in Germany I'm sure they have their fair share of government ties.
Tools in this context sounds a lot like:
- I'll have my favored vendor draft the RFB
- Have my favored vendor write the only RFP that matches the RFB
- pretend there is competition.
This is probably the US telling Germany what to do. They're the junior partner anyway. Giving China access to large parts of their telco infrastructure isn't something either country wants to do. I can understand why, but just saying that probably won't fly with the WTO
