US warns Egypt to avoid Chinese companies on 5G connections
As part of the growing conflict between Washington and Beijing over the introduction of 5G networks in the world, the US State Department warned Egypt against resorting to Chinese companies for the launch of 5G networks and called on Egyptian companies to boycott their Chinese counterparts.
CAIRO — As part of the conflict between Washington and Beijing over the introduction of 5G networks in the world, China’s Ambassador to Cairo Liao Liqiang launched during a press conference Oct. 25 a sharp attack on the United States and accused it of establishing spying platforms and suppressing the Chinese partners wishing to introduce the 5G technology.
The Chinese attack comes in the wake of statements made Oct. 23 by Keith Krach, the US State Department’s undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment, during a press conference at the US Embassy in Cairo, in which he warned against using Chinese companies to launch 5G networks.
