there are for sure plenty of pro Huawei apologists on the internet. It would be absurd to let a foreign power control critical telecom infrastructure, for that reason alone the decisions to ban and replace foreign gear is merited.

This isn't 'anti-chinese bluster' it's just critical thinking.

"It would be absurd to let a foreign power control critical telecom infrastructure"

Have you thought through the consequences of what you are advocating? If EU starts removing US equipment, or Brazil or India?

US is not seen as a 'trusted ally' outside of English-speaking nations, certainly India, etc.

Not GP, but that's a good thing. Every country should secure their own telecoms. Resilience against spying from all sides.
