Japan Follows the US to Contain China: Kyodo Exclusive: Tokyo Warns Japanese Companies Supporting Ukraine About Huawei 5G Information Leakage Risks
According to an exclusive report by Kyodo News citing relevant sources on the 11th, the Japanese government has warned Japanese companies actively supporting Ukraine's reconstruction that using China's telecommunications giant Huawei's fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system poses a risk of technology or sensitive information leakage.
Kyodo News reported that... Japan took an unusual measure from the perspective of economic security due to concerns over the widespread use of Huawei equipment.
Last year, a major Ukrainian mobile operator conducted 5G field trials with Huawei in some cities. The Ukrainian government allocated 5G frequency bands to this mobile operator. The Japanese company Rakuten also applied to participate in local 5G services but was not included in the scope.
According to Japanese government documents obtained by Kyodo News, considering the situation where major cities such as Kyiv are promoting the introduction of Huawei 5G, it pointed out that "it is very risky for Japan and Europe to invest in important infrastructure including energy."
In addition, the Tokyo authorities expressed concern about the situation where Chinese products, even if not directly involved by Chinese companies, may flow into the market through Turkish companies.
