Huawei insists it could serve Euro 5G clients, after losing bids to Nokia in Belgium

Chinese telecom giant Huawei can continue to serve European customers in the 5G sector clients because of its preparations and upfront investments, says Abraham Liu, Huawei’s vice-president for Europe.

However, EU members have been alarmed by Huawei's "high-risk vendor" status and subject the Chinese firm's governance and technology to examination, which would likely prompt other European operators to remove it from their networks.

Last week, Belgium's Orange and Proximus telecom firms picked Nokia over Huawei and other bidders to help it build 5G networks.

According to Huawei, it was still "looking for a solution" to help millions of Huawei phone users with Google being banned from providing technical support for Huawei's new Android phones.

Liu claimed the US was “blackmailing” chipmakers into cutting ties with them.

Lui admits that Huawei sees great difficulties as there are 90 million European Huawei users and that they are still looking for a solution.

Huawei denies US allegations that its equipment could be used by Beijing for spying.
