The US has described Huawei as the “backbone” of surveillance efforts by the Chinese Communist Party, and is putting pressure on European governments to block the technology company from gaining access to 5G networks. Sweden should provide open and non-discriminatory business conditions for Chinese companies based on market rules, the Chinese embassy in Sweden said in a statement. Huawei has previously denied being a security threat, and Chinese officials have labelled the bans by European governments as “gross interference”.

Sweden is protecting Ericsson. Huawei and ZTE are number 1 and 4 respectively in 5G technology.
