‘You need more’: Hungary praises China tech giant despite NATO warning

LONDON — Hungary plans to continue partnering with the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, despite U.S. warnings about espionage threats and the adoption of a historic NATO declaration about the Chinese communist regime.

“Look, in order to exclude a company from your market, you need more than a perception, right?” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, whose country hosts Huawei’s largest overseas hub, told the Washington Examiner on the sidelines of the NATO Leaders’ Meeting. “Legally speaking, it’s very complicated to exclude a company from your market. In order to do that, you need to have some evidence which is serious enough to make such a serious move.”
