More of America\u2019s allies are resisting pressure from Washington to rule out the use of telecom equipment from China\u2019s Huawei Technologies \u2014 a company the Trump administration says poses national-security risks.<\/p>\n

Germany on Monday said it will not exclude the possibility of employing the company\u2019s technologies for its next-generation 5G mobile networks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on Monday, Huawei\u2019s India head told Reuters<\/a> on the sidelines of a conference in New Delhi that the Shenzhen-based company would sign a \u201cno backdoor\u201d agreement that would give India greater access to monitor and ensure the security of its products. India has also said it had not made a decision regarding the company.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, the U.S. has mounted a campaign to convince allies to ban Huawei from involvement in their mobile infrastructures. Australia and New Zealand have effectively banned Huawei from their 5G networks, while in August the U.S. Commerce Department issued a temporary reprieve for certain companies to engage in limited transactions with the telecom giant<\/a>, \u201cto afford consumers across America the necessary time to transition away from Huawei equipment, given the persistent national security and foreign policy threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 90-day extension mostly covers mobile-phone and broadband components, not network infrastructure.<\/p>\n

And (May 17, 2019):<\/strong> Trump\u2019s economic sanctions on Huawei could backfire on the U.S.<\/a> <\/p>\n

China and Huawei both deny the company poses any national-security risk.<\/p>\n

Canada and the U.K., meanwhile, said they will make decisions regarding Huawei in the coming months, though London said it had already decided to exclude the company from its government networks.<\/p>\n

Canada is in the midst of turbulent relations with Beijing, after arresting Huawei\u2019s CFO in December at Washington\u2019s request<\/a>, which accuses her of violating sanctions against Iran, charges the company denies.<\/p>\n

Soon after, China arrested two Canadians<\/a> \u2014 seen by many as retaliation \u2014 and observers said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may delay the decision until their cases are resolved.<\/p>\n


\n While the Trump administration has sought to convince allies of the risks involved in working with Huawei, China has warned several countries about repercussions for blocking the company from their markets. <\/p>\n
