US State Department officials have urged the European Commission and Belgian government not to trust 5G technology from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE. US representatives are to meet French, German and other European leaders to warn of the risks posed by "untrusted" suppliers Huawei and ZTE to European and US national security. The move came as the Czech cyber watchdog NUKIB omitted the two Chinese firms from 5G tenders after they were excluded by the country's tax office.
