BERLIN — Germany's government said Tuesday it is carrying out a review of tech suppliers such as China's Huawei and ZTE, whose equipment is used in Germany's 5G networks.
Maximilian Kall, a spokesperson for Germany's Interior Ministry, confirmed the review in a press conference, saying it is important for German telecommunications operators to "not be too reliant on certain providers," and warning that if security risks are discovered by early April, German firms would not be compensated by the government for parts that would need to be ripped out of their networks and replaced.
