According to British media reports, Telecom Italia, one of Italy's local telecom operators, announced on July 9 that Huawei's 5G core equipment was excluded from the bidding for 5G projects in Italy and Brazil. Later, someone explained that this decision was only an industry choice and was based on multiple partners. However, from the outside world, Italy's attitude towards Huawei suddenly reversed, which may be due to the recent influence of countries such as Britain, France and the United States.
You know, in April last year, despite the opposition of many countries in Europe and America, Italy became the first G7 country to join China's overseas infrastructure cooperation projects. Later, Huawei was offered an olive branch of cooperation to ensure that Huawei would not be treated differently in the construction of Italy's 5G telecommunications network. For the warning of the United States, Italy also used its own 5G telecommunications service supply agreement "Golden Power" as a shield, saying that this agreement can effectively protect Italy and make Italy one of the most advanced countries in Europe. The implication is that the United States can stop worrying about it.
With Italy's firm cooperative attitude, in July last year, Huawei also issued a very sincere commitment to Italy-it will invest US$ 365,438+billion (21600 million RMB) in Italy in the next three years, and will also provide 1000 local jobs. In addition, in terms of the supply of parts and components of 5G equipment that European countries such as Italy are very concerned about, Huawei has also prepared suitable A and B plans for customers, which has alleviated the concerns about the restrictions on the supply of equipment in the United States.
You know, in recent years, Europe has become Huawei's largest overseas growth market. According to the investment data of Huawei in 20 18 years, among the two European countries where the company purchases the most 12, Huawei's indirect economic contribution to these countries through purchasing products and services through the supply chain reaches 5.4 billion euros (equivalent to 42.6 billion yuan). Perhaps when Italy tries to go back on its word, it should also consider its future economic recovery prospects. On July 9, local time, British telecom operators warned that if they tried to quickly remove Huawei equipment, it would affect the British economic recovery.
