What about Huawei home internet (fiber) modems / routers? Many large telcos in the EU use them.
Mine is Zyxel (Taiwan). There are others like Sagemcom (French), Fritzbox (German), not sure if microtik (Latvia) does end user stuff?

Anti-corruption is OK, but you lose out if you're the only one complying.

Please do tell how lobbying without bribery is supposed to operate.
Plenty of companies have Public Affairs departments that work essentially as lobbyist, but no bribery neither to the MEP nor the Political Party is involved. Many lobbyists work "simply" by producing reports and collecting data that works in favor or their proposals, publishing them to opinion pieces in newspapers etc.
The EU is not unique in this though.
Good. Huawei is a Chinese state run enterprise passing all info to their masters.

>> Authorities suspect that Huawei lobbyists have paid bribes to MEPs in return for backing their cause in the European Union. > Isn’t that the cost of doing business in the EU? No, it's not. If you represent a business there is an official way to express your stance and lobby for your cause but bribing MEPs is a criminal offence (both for the perpetrator and those who receive personal benefits).
Its how all telco hardware companies operate - google "Ericsson/Nortel/Seimens bribe". The only reason the EU has to depend on Huawei is because EU telco hardware which once ran most of China telco can't compete anymore. So they have to play this game until local players get their act together.
Cant compete on what?
Features?
Price?
Do tell, you seem to have information.
If you’re interested in recent history or telecommunication development over the last 50 years it’s a great read. It’s not a technical deep dive nor a political hit piece, the author wrote for the Washington Post and it really reads like a long and in-depth article. Which is actually nice despite sometimes leaving me wanting for more, definitely made it a quick read.

I'm more comfortable with Chinese than US masters.
Although I agree that with latest guys it won't be long before they also get a thought police.
