Berlin (AFP) – Germany will phase out the use of components from Chinese telecom giants Huawei and ZTE in its 5G networks, says Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. Speaking at a press conference, Faeser says “we must reduce security risks and…avoid one-sided dependencies”, before citing national security fears “especially with regard to the dangers of sabotage and espionage.”
