China ‘restricts’ telecom giants Ericsson and Nokia; Europe hesitant to curb Huawei, ZTE

China is strategically phasing out European telecom equipment from its national networks, aiming for technological self-reliance. New “Black Box” security reviews by the Cyberspace Administration of China disadvantage companies like Nokia and Ericsson. This move contrasts sharply with Europe’s limited action against Chinese vendors like Huawei and ZTE, who maintain significant market share despite security concerns.
