On the other hand Spain is using Huawei servers for almost all of their sensitive data. I wonder how the UE, and NATO, will react to that, because they're using Huawei for Social Security data, wiretapping data (SITEL), or even Intelligence Services data.

And Spain will have 6G and all the niceties of telecom technology, while Germany will be stuck forever on 5G.

What makes you believe Huawei is the only company that will ever be able to build 6G hardware for the entire remaining lifetime of the universe?

Huawei and other Chinese companies laid huge patent minefields around pretty much every modern high-speed radio technology.

If you ever worked in 5G/6G/Wifi/etc. standardization you will quickly see one thing: they know their job.

So even if you rip out all Chinese hardware - you will still have to pay money to them if you replace it with local stuff from Nokia/Ericson/etc.

Scale. Huawei has 1.4 billion customers just in China. They have double this around the world. The US and European markets have become small for the scale of next generations telecom.

I get why you do so, but the European Union is always shortened to EU, not UE.

It would be as if I wrote a sentence, "The EWG was created by the treaty of Rome in 1957".

What is EWG? Oh yes its the German abbreviation for the EEC. But we're writing in English?

“I think you meant EU instead of UE" sounds much less passive-aggressive.
