(5 Mar 2019) Chinese tech company Huawei on Tuesday opened a cybersecurity lab in Brussels, the heart of the European Union, as it tries to win over government leaders and fight back US allegations that its equipment poses a national security risk.
Company executives inaugurated the Huawei European Cybersecurity Centre, which will allow the wireless companies that are its customers to review the source code running its network gear.
The launch came amid a standoff between the US and China over Huawei technologies, the world's biggest maker of telecom infrastructure for new high-speed 5G networks.
The US has been lobbying allied countries and companies to shun Huawei because of fears its equipment could facilitate digital espionage by China's communist leaders.
The new lab in the Belgian capital gives Huawei a venue to reassure the EU's policymakers about its cybersecurity credentials.
Europe is Huawei's biggest market outside China, and the company hopes to play a key role in building the continent's 5G networks, in competition with Scandinavian rivals Ericsson and Nokia.
Fifth-generation mobile networks enable lightning fast download speeds and reduce signal lag, advances that will be used in smart factories, self-driving cars and remote surgery.
