Struggling Ericsson to join China’s 5G market

SHANGHAI: Chinese mobile operators have invited Swedish firm Ericsson to participate in their 5G equipment test and the invitation, which offers the Swedish firm an opportunity for “interview” to access China’s 5G market, could be the last chance for Sweden to pull back its wrong decision to exclude Chinese firms, such as Huawei, from participating in its country’s 5G construction, a source close to the matter told the Global Times.

The source also stressed that participating in the 5G equipment test organized by Chinese mobile operators does not mean Ericsson will be hired and Sweden has to carefully reconsider its China policy in the regard.
