EU to purge Chinese gear from critical infrastructure, FT reports
The European Union is moving toward mandating the phase‑out of Chinese‑made equipment from critical infrastructure, targeting Huawei and ZTE in telecom networks and solar energy systems. A cybersecurity proposal could make such bans mandatory, with timelines tied to sector risks and the availability of alternatives. Some large EU markets have resisted adopting these measures; Reuters could not verify the FT report, and officials from the Commission, China, Huawei and ZTE did not comment.
