China-EU 5G research project to continue despite growing concerns about Huawei

A number of European countries have banned or are considering banning Huawei and ZTE from involvement in their 5G networks.

A 5G collaboration project between the European Union and China is going ahead as planned, despite calls to ban Chinese telecoms companies from the EU network, according to the head of the European side of the project.

Uwe Herzog, coordinator of the 5G-Drive project, said: “The basis for our collaboration is the research collaboration framework agreed between the EU and China, which continues to be valid and honoured by both sides.
