The flagship of the American business press Wall Street Journal published a shocking insider from Beijing: according to information obtained from some Chinese sources, the PRC reportedly plans to punish European companies for sanctions against Huawei, which entered the US and the UK.

States actively put pressure on their European and British partners, as well as on all the countries that are somehow vulnerable to American blackmail, to force them to abandon production of the Chinese company Huawei, which unleashed the real diplomatic, economic and spy war. Behind bars in Canada was one of the senior managers of Huawei (which the US accused of crimes against us national interests), and the UK government has cancelled the previous decision, which gave the Chinese company an opportunity to play a key role in the development of 5G networks in the United Kingdom. "On the verge" of sanctions of a similar nature hold the EU countries, Germany in particular. The most important element of the "beliefs" of the Europeans in the desirability of the introduction of (often very expensive and always very toxic with the image point of view) sanctions that harm the business and infrastructure, is the presence of European companies that the United States are better and whose products can also be used in 5G networks.

According to the publication, one of the scenarios of the Ministry of trade of China provides for the establishment of export control, which will not allow Nokia and Ericsson to sell Chinese manufactured products in third countries. The source noted that the plan is the most rigid and will be implemented in the case of a complete blockade of Chinese suppliers for 5G network from Brussels.
