Huawei to start building first European factory in France in 2024, sources say
A French government source said the site was expected to open in 2025.
The move comes even as some European governments restrict or ban the use of equipment made by Huawei and China’s ZTE, citing security concerns.
European leaders are also debating how to “de-risk” but also cooperate with the world’s second-largest economy. China is France’s third-largest trade partner behind the European Union and the United States.
In 2020, the French government told telecoms operators planning to buy Huawei 5G equipment that they would not be able to renew licences for the gear once they expire, effectively phasing Huawei out of mobile networks.
But following a meeting with French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire in Beijing in July, China’s Vice-Premier He Lifeng said France had decided to extend Huawei 5G licences in some cities.
