Beijing expects European countries to make “independent and wise choices” on whether to purchase Chinese 5G technology despite US pressure to shun telecom conglomerate Huawei, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Saturday.

Washington increased its efforts last year to stop its European allies from buying Chinese equipment to upgrade their networks to 5G, in particular from Huawei, which US officials see as a possible spying conduit and accuse of violating US sanctions on Iran.

“It is granted that every country should uphold its information security but it is important to provide a level playing ground for all companies,” Mr Wang told the Munich Security Conference.

“It is the fair thing to do and that is consistent with market rules,” he said, referring to Europe. “We believe every country will make their independent and wise choice”
