Also with Mario Draghi in government and despite his many stakes on 5G and strategic sectors, Chinese companies Huawei and Zte do not seem willing to abandon the Italian market.
Two years ago Copasir had invited the executive to evaluate the possibility of "excluding the aforementioned companies from the supply of technology for 5G networks".Since then, on 5G, the governments that have alternated have moved to the sound of prescriptions (and with a veto) to secure the infrastructure and communications from the so -called high risk suppliers.In recent weeks, with the publication in the Official Gazette of the latest decree of the President of the Council of Ministers, the national security perimeter of the Cybernetic Security Perimeter will be completed.It is based on three pillars, one of which is the technological ballot which will be active by 30 June 2022, as Roberto Baldoni, director of the national cybersicacy agency, ants in Ants, explained a few weeks ago.net.
The most recent public releases of both companies seem to confirm what we highlighted at the end of last year on these pages: that 2021 would have been a year less from "wolves warriors" for both Huawei and ZTE.Both speak little about 5G, they prefer to communicate other themes.The times when Luigi de Vecchis, president of the Italian branch of Huawei (who in the meantime has changed CEO), thundered against the "discrimination" suffered in Italy on the basis of evidence that (probably referred to the label of "Supplier, seem to be far away.at high risk ")" They don't exist " - yet it was only a year ago.And in which, it was the summer of last year, Hu Kun, president of the western Europe of Zte, brought the government of the time, the Giallorossi one led by Giuseppe Conte for the jacket, declaring to the HuffPost: “In recent years, I have seenThe great efforts of the Italian government to eliminate the various obstacles to the deployment of 5G antennas, and also the efforts to promote an ecosystem ".
Among the latest initiatives in Huawei there is a project with WWF Italia for monitoring and environmental protection developed in the reserves of astronians, Burano and Orbetello.Among those of ZTE, on the other hand, the support for the exciting initiative against violence against women is the support of the initiative.To open the ZTE press conference on 25 November, on the occasion of the World Day against Violence against Women, the Senator Annamaria Parente of Italia Viva, president of the Health Commission.The day before, President Hu Ken had participated in a conference of the International Study Center entitled "Foreign investments and internationalization: a strategy for Italy" together with Bruno Tabacci, Undersecretary for the Prime Minister, Marco Elio Rottigni, head of the International DivisionSubsidiary Banks of Intesa Sanpaolo, and Adolfo Urso, senator and president of Copasir.
In the same way, even Chinese diplomacy in Italy has dampened the tones.Always a year ago, the ambassador li junhua wore (and it was not the first time) the role of the "warrior wolf" to intervene thus on aspects that concerned two Chinese companies that have always proclaimed themselves independent of the Beijing government: "We reject theAttacks on 5G, which cannot be politicized, there is no evidence of insurgentness or backdoor ".More recently, Liu Kan, a new Chinese console in Milan, told MF-Milan Finance that Chinese companies are "willing to take part actively in the national relaunch plan of Italy, exploring cooperation opportunities in the sectors of sustainability, ofdigital and health, with the desire to promote mutual advantages and win-win results ".Critical sectors both for their relevance in the plan, both for their importance in the ecological and digital transition, and for the amount of sensitive data they contain and which could rekindle the concerns already emerged on the role of Chinese companies - Huawei and Zte - in 5G, we noticed on ants.net.
Here's what we wrote about this - it was September but it is still current.
This alleged Win-Win, a battle horse of Beijing's diplomacy to argue that Chinese investments bring benefits to both sides, is seen with suspicion by many.For example, from Copasir, which in its recent auditions has sparked a reflector on the use of the funds of the PNRR (and on the Alpi Aviation affair).And also from the United States.Just think that at the end of June, during his first visit to Italy, the American Secretary of State Antony Blueken had declared to Repubblica that "it is very important that when investments come from other countries the necessary checks are carried out on their origin.Above all, keeping in mind the needs of national security, of Italy as of other countries ".
"The risk, clear to Americans as in the European Championships, is that part of the hundreds of billions of euros of the recovery end up in China, rather than European companies", noted the Corriere della Sera on the same occasion.The Italian match is the most gluttonous in Europe, with the national recovery and resilience plan that takes 47.5 billion euros for the digital transition.
Among them, the two Chinese companies underline the differences: "ZTE is an absolutely transparent company, we are listed both on the Hong Kong stock exchange and to that of Shenzhen and we make our company compliant with any international code," said Hu Kun Al 'HuffPost.But in this phase both seem to have a priority: definitively abandoning the clothes of the "warrior wolves" in order not to remain cut out of the multi -military digital transition that Italy can no longer postpone.
