Europe remains divided: the EU has labelled Huawei a high-risk supplier, but Germany and Spain are resisting an outright ban, partly due to cost and fear of Chinese retaliation. Chinese vendors supply an estimated 30–40% of Europe's 5G infrastructure, making a full replacement the largest forced telecom swap in European history. The issue is expected to resurface at the NATO summit in Turkey next month. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
