Every country designing and making their own 5G equipment seems impractical (not to mention expensive, likely full of bugs=backdoors, etc), I think the correct conclusion to draw from that is that you need to use end-to-end (really point-you-trust-to-other-point-you-choose-to-trust) encryption.

It's like checksums, really ;) Point-to-point is helpful, but not sufficient.

I don’t think GP asked for every country manufacturing their own equipment, rather they should ask for significant insight and auditing into the design and making of critical infrastructure
