US ambassador threatens Brazil over Huawei access
    2020-07-31  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE top U.S. diplomat in Brazil said that the country may face “consequences” if it allows China’s Huawei Technologies into its 5G network.

The U.S. Government has stepped up efforts to limit Huawei’s role in rolling out high-speed, fifth-generation technology in Latin America’s largest economy.

U.S. Ambassador Todd Chapman told O Globo newspaper that Brazil would not face reprisals for picking Huawei, but could face consequences.

“Each country is responsible for its decisions,” Chapman was quoted as saying. “The consequences we are seeing in the world are that firms involved in intellectual property are scared to make investments in countries where that intellectual property is not protected.”

Chapman added that U.S. International Development Finance Corp., an agency created by U.S. President Donald Trump to boost U.S. overseas development financing efforts to counter China’s influence, has US$60 billion in its coffers.

He said the U.S. Government has agreed to make money available from the fund to help support allies who choose to buy their telecom infrastructure from “trustworthy suppliers.”

Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro said last month that 5G deployment would have to meet national sovereignty, information and data security requirements. A longtime China skeptic, Bolsonaro has adopted a less abrasive stance toward China since taking office in 2019, although he remains a close Trump ally.

China is the top market for Brazilian exports.

Earlier this month, a Huawei executive warned that Brazil could suffer years of delay in deploying a 5G telecom network and higher costs if it succumbs to mounting U.S. pressure to snub Huawei. (SD-Agencies)
