Huawei will be able to participate in the construction of Brazilian 5G networks
According to the publication, President Jair Bolsonaro has abandoned his previous position – not to allow Huawei to build 5G networks – in connection with Donald Trump’s departure from the presidency of the United States. Earlier, Bolsonaro supported the American leadership’s baseless accusations that Huawei allegedly shares confidential data with the Chinese communist government.
China is Brazil’s largest trading partner. Given this and the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer’s ability to offer the most attractive prices, Bolsonaro faced resistance from industry and government representatives, including Vice President Hamilton Mourao.
Mourao said that all companies that provide the necessary guarantees to respect Brazil’s national sovereignty and data protection would offer 5G equipment in the country.
