>> It's the same reason you don't want Chinese equipment in your telecommunications infrastructure. You can't trust what the Chinese government will do to it or with it.
> Using this logic, every country should develop its own critical equipment from scratch, in terms of both hardware and software.
The logic is don't use infrastructure of people you don't trust. If Europeans don't trust Chinese, then don't use Chinese infra; if the Europeans don't trust the US (anymore), then don't use US infra. The Europeans could trust the Canadians, and use Canadian infra for example.

I'm seeing the EU being singled out as unreasonable for avoiding the risk represented by buying their whole infrastructure from companies with deep and blatant ties to CCP's armed forces. Somehow these critics are omitting the fact that most of the world, specially asian countries, have also banned them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerns_over_Chinese_involvement_in_5G_wireless_networks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerns_over_Chinese_involvem...
