All the American squeezes to Huawei, Zte and Hytera

If the United States has deemed Hytera unreliable by putting it on their blacklist, on the contrary, the European Union is using it for its security missions. The article by Giuseppe Gagliano

As we know, the National Defense Authorization Act has prohibited American companies from signing contracts with some of the most important Chinese multinationals such as Huawei, Zte, Hikvision but also Hytera, headed by Chen Qingzhou and owned by Vanguard Group.

American intelligence believes it has the necessary elements to prove the existence of a direct relationship between this multinational and the Chinese security ministry.

The Chinese company builds security and surveillance systems. Its products have had dubious success both in Egypt and in Morocco and Qatar. While the United States has deemed this company unreliable by putting it on their blacklist, on the contrary, the European Union is using it for its security missions.

We will see if Europe's External Action Service – that is, EU intelligence – will be able to indicate more reliable suppliers to the European Commission. However, one cannot help but underline how collusion – alleged or actual – between Chinese multinationals and Chinese security services is actually benefiting American multinationals. Coincidence?
