The Chinese ambassador to Denmark threatened to withdraw a trade deal with the Faroe Islands if the regional government did not award Huawei a 5G contract, according to Danish local media.
The alleged threat, made by Chinese ambassador Feng Tie to Faroe Islands leader Bárður Nielsen, adds to concerns about Huawei’s links with the Chinese communist regime as the company pushes for expansion into Europe. The Faroe Islands, which has a population of about 52,000, is a self-governing autonomous region within Denmark.
