EU Cybersecurity Reform Marks Strategic Shift in Approach to Chinese Technology
The European Commission’s proposed revision of its Cybersecurity Act, unveiled on Jan. 20 in Strasbourg, marks a turning point in its approach to Chinese technology suppliers.
The draft regulation creates, for the first time, a legal framework empowering the commission to designate “third countries posing cybersecurity concerns” and to classify their suppliers as “high-risk.”
Although the text never names China, Huawei, or ZTE, its enforcement would result in the gradual exclusion of Chinese equipment from the bloc’s mobile, fixed, and satellite networks. The new architecture allows Brussels to override the reservations of capitals that have so far resisted excluding Chinese suppliers from their networks.
Should the text be adopted by the European Parliament, Brussels will join Washington, which excluded Huawei and ZTE from American mobile networks back in 2019.
