#3Yeah we would rather not have a company who is actively helping their government censor their Internet, and oppress their citizens from developing critical infrastructure in our country. Its not because They're Chinese its because they're unethical and oppressive.

#4Tie my kangaroo down sport, that's good news. Now we just need the sleepy EU to wake up so we get their spyware removed from our Mobile Operators infrastructure here!

#5Cyber actors is one I've not heard before.
Sounds like a good idea, what are the downsides if any?

#6I wish they'd bad this equipment not because it's Chinese, but simply because it's shit. Seriously, pretty much all mobile network equipment (including EU-based Ericsson) has critical vulnerabilities. I wouldn't worry about Chinese backdoors when anyone can get privileged access to the core network.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi sold almost 2 million cars in China in 2017. Surely most of them can be replaced by Non-EU cars in case Huawei/ZTE are not allowed free access in EU.
Trump wants a 25% tariff on every EU car, he is going to welcome such a suicidal move by the EU.

Take it your mobile phone is built in Germany, with German components. ;)
It's just a matter of picking your poison. You think your Cisco router has no backdoors? Your Intel CPU? Your Windows OS? Your Gmail account?
This isn't about making you safer, it's about removing competition (as crappy as it may have been). And they eliminate competition both economically and in the spying game. The more companies there are that want to spy on you, the more you pay attention to security and you make life hard for everyone.
But phew, the spies were banned so no need to worry anymore :).

Accessible to a one-man dictatorship in Australia’s back yard? No. In any case, any backdoors in a Cisco product will be available to Canberra, a Five Eyes member.
