China concerned by Huawei NBN ban, says Bob Carr
blog Foreign Minister Bob Carr hit up the ABC’s flagship current affairs program 7:30 last night and was quizzed by host Chris Uhlmann on, among other things, the attitude of Chinese officials to the Federal Government’s move to block Chinese networking gear supplier Huawei from participating in National Broadband Network contracts. We recommend you check out the full transcript and video interview with Carr online here.
Carr has just left China following the kind of open and wide-ranging discussions with Australia’s major partners which new Foreign Ministers often embark upon (he’s now in Japan). The former NSW Premier had this to say about Chinese views on the Huawei ban:
“I think it’s indisputable that China is concerned about this and objects to the decision we made. My position with my Chinese interlocutors is that this decision was made on security grounds and that a government is entitled to make a decision on national broadband infrastructure based on the security and the resilience of that infrastructure. And that’s the position we made. I don’t think any other country in the world would have made a different decision in the circumstances. And I’d like to think that on the bottom line, after due consideration, the Chinese would accept this.”
