The European Commission\u2019s proposed revision of its Cybersecurity Act, unveiled on Jan. 20 in Strasbourg, marks a turning point in its approach to Chinese technology suppliers.<\/p>\n

The draft regulation creates, for the first time, a legal framework empowering the commission to designate \u201cthird countries posing cybersecurity concerns\u201d and to classify their suppliers as \u201chigh-risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the text never names China, Huawei, or ZTE, its enforcement would result in the gradual exclusion of Chinese equipment from the bloc\u2019s mobile, fixed, and satellite networks. The new architecture allows Brussels to override the reservations of capitals that have so far resisted excluding Chinese suppliers from their networks.<\/p>\n

Should the text be adopted by the European Parliament, Brussels will join Washington, which excluded Huawei and ZTE from American mobile networks back in 2019.<\/p>\n

A \u2018European Awakening\u2019<\/h2>\n

Emmanuel Lincot, sinologist, professor at the Catholic Institute of Paris, and senior research fellow at the Institute for International and Strategic Relations, said that the regulation reflects a strategic posture in Brussels.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a good measure, and it was time,\u201d he told The Epoch Times in an interview. \u201cMany experts have long argued, with reason, that there was a danger in resorting to Huawei, whose intentions are not necessarily benevolent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis measure amounts to telling them: recess is over, we are not fooled, go home or change your attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lincot reads the new approach as part of a broader trend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis protectionist measure is part of an awakening of a true European identity,\u201d he said. \u201cThe war in Ukraine was the catalyst.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sinologist emphasized that a growing number of member states are also \u201cgetting wary\u201d of the \u201cChinese project,\u201d noting that the new Silk Roads were \u201cnot only an infrastructure project; they are also a digital project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Europe is engaged in an economic war with China, Lincot said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are clearly…<\/p>\n
