Summary/Abstract: The construction of fifth-generation (5G) mobile network technology is crucial to Germany's status as a leader of the global economy. Chinese firm Huawei has presented an offer that allows for the project to be completed rapidly and relatively cheaply. However, accepting or rejecting the Chinese company go beyond economic issues and could affect Germany’s security, its relations with the U.S., and EU policy towards China.
