Dutch PM Rutte: no decisions yet on Chinese role in 5G roll out

Published Updated

"We are closely assessing how we can help in the roll out of a 5G network in the Netherlands, as far as politicians have anything to say about that, but it's too early to make any announcements", Rutte said.

The United States has lobbied Europe to shut out Chinese technology company Huawei from such projects, saying its equipment could be used by the Chinese government for espionage.
