On the other hand Spain is using Huawei servers for almost all of their sensitive data. I wonder how the UE, and NATO, will react to that, because they're using Huawei for Social Security data, wiretapping data (SITEL), or even Intelligence Services data. https://therecord.media/spain-awards-contracts-huawei-intell...

And Spain will have 6G and all the niceties of telecom technology, while Germany will be stuck forever on 5G.

What makes you believe Huawei is the only company that will ever be able to build 6G hardware for the entire remaining lifetime of the universe?

We could start treating Chinese patents with the same respect they treated the rest of the world’s, maybe.

We could. But then we throw away the basis on how we treat European, Australian, Japanese, American, etc. patents. You either respect patents or you don't. There is no middle ground.

Why would we change the way we respect those? None of those nations engage in the same uncompetitive practices that the Chinese do with respect to patents and IP.

> Why should they? Because bashing all things American while ignoring the threat posed by China is part of Europe's cultural DNA.

laughs in unhinged head of state that imposes arbitrary tarrifs on half of the world and mistakes dementia test for IQ test, says it's difficult

Your deranged rambling isn't too coherent, either.

Huawei and other Chinese companies laid huge patent minefields around pretty much every modern high-speed radio technology.

If you ever worked in 5G/6G/Wifi/etc. standardization you will quickly see one thing: they know their job.

So even if you rip out all Chinese hardware - you will still have to pay money to them if you replace it with local stuff from Nokia/Ericson/etc.

Whose sovereignity though? And to replace it with what? As almost all 6G kit builds on 5G kit which is at most 40% Huawei FRAND patented.So whatever the path HW gets paid. As an aside the whole OpenRAN debacle to replcae 5G kit seems to have peterd out after the initial hype. This move also ignores economies of scale - if the rest of the planet is on HW kit lowerig cost even with razor thin margins.The opps Nokia/Eri…

You don't need a crazy fast connection for most of this automation stuff, because it has to be able to operate offline successfully to start with. Any dark factory should be running on its own wireless network anyway, not some cellular network. Who would do that? Even for a local wireless network, why would a Huawei router be any better? To me, this was never about 5G or 6G. This was always about CCP controlled netwo…

The good old ccp rule. You can tell how deranged a comment is by the number of times it has "ccp" in it.

> CCP wasn't absolutely psycho and immoral

As opposed to what? The US? The EU? Germany? Seems like the CCP is the least psycho and immoral of the bunch.

> but few countries are as bold or blatant as China in this regard.

China is the least bold and blatant out of the major players.

> Nobody is worried about most of these countries excessively abusing their influence abroad

Everyone is. It's just that "those countries" are in no position to fight back against the US.

> Trust is almost always more important than speed.

If trust was important, then germany woud choose "ccp's" huawei. After all, it's germany's "allies" that spy on them the most. And the "ccp" would win by providing the world with the most trustworthy network hardware.

Good attempt comrade. China + Russia + Iran fueling the war with Europe. They openly declare a war on way of living of western world . Sure , build critical infrastructure independently is insane.

> China + Russia + Iran fueling the war with Europe.

It's the other way around. Europe fueling war with china + russia + iran.

It isn't china sending warships along german, british, european coastline. It wasn't russia that overthrew democracy in ukraine. And it isn't iran bombing europe.

> They openly declare a war on way of living of western world .

No. You once again have it backwards. It's the western world declaring war on them. The genuine head scratcher is why china, russian and iran haven't formally joined forces to fight back.

Scale. Huawei has 1.4 billion customers just in China. They have double this around the world. The US and European markets have become small for the scale of next generations telecom.

It is exactly the same in every EU country. Foreigners get registered or must register in person.

Wrong. People that live here (in the EU) need to register. I can stay with friends abroad for some time without having to tell the government, as long as I don't take up residency.

I am talking about non-EU citizens who enter some of EU countries. No matter if they stay at the hotel or privately at relatives or friends they will be registered or must register at the police.

Does China enforce western patent laws?
