Deutsche Bahn faces pressure over Huawei components

Politicians from both government and opposition parties are criticizing the use of equipment from the Chinese telecom provider Huawei in the data networks of Deutsche Bahn. Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU), Jens Zimmermann (SPD) and Maximilian Funke-Kaiser (FDP) accuse Deutsche Bahn, as reported by Handelsblatt, of continuing to use Chinese technology despite existing concerns. They demand that Deutsche Bahn replace the components in its data networks because they are considered part of Germany’s critical infrastructure.
