"The Chinese Ministry of Commerce explicitly warned that Beijing is prepared to invoke its Foreign Trade Law and State Council Supply Chain Security Regulations, which allow for trade restrictions and reciprocal bans on European companies if discriminatory treatment occurs."
"China's core objection to the draft law centers on the use of 'non-technical risk' factors, which Beijing argues is a subjective political tool aimed at excluding Chinese companies regardless of their actual security properties."
"The revised EU Cybersecurity Act signifies a fundamental shift in Brussels' approach to network security, with the EU's '5G toolbox' recommending member states avoid high-risk vendors since 2020, though implementation has been inconsistent."
Beijing's commerce ministry submitted a 30-page document to the European Commission warning that the draft Cybersecurity Act could lead to reciprocal measures against European companies in China. The document emphasizes that China is prepared to invoke its Foreign Trade Law and Supply Chain Security Regulations if Chinese firms face discriminatory treatment. The revised EU Cybersecurity Act represents a shift in network security approach, with uneven implementation among member states regarding high-risk vendors in 5G networks, particularly affecting significant economies like Germany.
