The chancellor of Germany today called for European countries to adopt a common front on the future of 5G.
Reuters reports that Angela Merkel told German politicians that individual countries taking their own stance on relationships with China could lead to disaster, not for China but for Europe.
Her message obviously refers to Chinese company Huawei, blacklisted by the USA because of concerns its 5G equipment could pose a security threat.
America has so far failed to provide evidence for this.
The US administration has urged its allies to avoid using Huawei kit, but European countries appear to be reluctant to follow suit.
