On November 11, 2025, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded to the European Commission's move to explore mandating its member states to eliminate Huawei and ZTE equipment. He emphasized that Chinese companies have, for an extended period, been conducting their business in Europe in a lawful and compliant manner. They have been offering top-notch products and services, thereby significantly contributing to local development. Imposing restrictions on enterprise participation in the market through administrative measures runs counter to market principles and fair competition rules. Moreover, it broadly categorizes and politicizes economic and trade issues, which ultimately harms both the involved parties and the broader international community. China firmly urges the EU to foster a fair and equitable business environment.
