Officials from the countries want to keep state-level control, and have expressed concerns that banning products from Huawei Technologies and other Chinese suppliers at the EU level risks retaliation from Beijing, the people said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are not public.
If China retaliates, that basically means the security concerns were warranted. Sure it is not great for Beijing, but also not big business either.
Countries retaliate against protectionist policies all the time. Is it only evidence of espionage when China does it or is the whole world spying on each other?
Sure it is not great for Beijing, but also not big business either.
That’s assuming it only stops there; you could make a compelling argument that even with no foul play it’s in China’s best interests to put its foot down before increasing European protectionism starts eating into its geopolitical strategy and/or bottom line.
No it was does not mean that, it can simply mean that if EU makes more difficult for chinese companys to work in EU they will also do the same to EU companies. That’s simply reciprocity
You sound like a Chinese chill. It already is quite difficult for non Chinese to operate in China and they are heavily discriminated against. Getting to parity isn’t necessarily a good thing, but not going there for the risk of causing offense is surrendering your sovereignty.

The EU did not in what was basically the same situation reversed.
There are also a bunch cases of where China decided against retaliatory tarrifs.
There are whole lists of retaliatory tarrifs that the EU has enacted and it’s one of the standard remedies in a WTO dispute.

Except the fact that what you are saying now is completely irrelevant to what was said before
China retaliating doesn’t mean the security concerns are warranted.
Not sure why are you trying to move the goal post
You suggested retaliation through discrimination. They are already doing that. Hence this is not a credible threat.
Last time the EU did this, Ericsson stock fell & they lost billion in Chinese contracts.
So Europe should surrend it’s sovereignty, ok commander clown.ml
