I have also reminded the telecoms operators concerned that it&#8217;s time to get to grips with this issue,&#8221; Breton said.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing a US-style rip-and-replace program won&#8217;t, however, come cheap. In the US, the federal government agreed to subsidize replacement of Huawei and ZTE tech at a cost of $5.6 billion, according to an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/02\/07\/secure_and_trusted_communications_reimbursement_program_overrun\/\" rel=\"noopener\">FCC report<\/a> from early 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Funding a similar program is a sticking point for some EU countries. Back in March, Germany&#8217;s economic ministry <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2023\/03\/18\/germany_huawei_mobile\/\" rel=\"noopener\">warned<\/a> of significant disruptions to mobile networks and the fulfilment of coverage requirements if the country were to remove Chinese kit from its networks.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Germany is particularly reliant on Chinese telecom gear. At least according to the Chinese embassy, Huawei accounts for nearly 60 percent of the country&#8217;s comms infrastructure.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33ZIvs55PfJX@Wvx4v07PKJgAAAI4&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33ZIvs55PfJX@Wvx4v07PKJgAAAI4&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>But unlike the US, the way that Germany&#8217;s laws are written means that carriers could end up footing the bill to replace banned tech. In the months since its warning, the German government has committed to an analysis of all Chinese-sourced tech for potential security threats.<\/p>\n<p>While a blanket ban would undoubtedly be painful for those involved, the implications for Huawei can&#8217;t be understated either. As we reported in April, US-led sanctions against the company <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2023\/04\/28\/us_sanctions_cut_huawei_profits\/\" rel=\"noopener\">contributed<\/a> to a 46 percent drop in profits during the first quarter of 2023.
