China hopes that Germany can make rational decisions on agreeing to strip Huawei components from the nation’s 5G core mobile network, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Thursday.
Germany’s ruling coalition has agreed on a compromise proposal to strip Huawei components from the nation’s 5G core mobile network by the end of 2026 for national security reasons, and all China-made components from Huawei, ZTE, and other enterprises will be eliminated by the end of 2029.
“Chinese telecommunications companies such as Huawei have operated in Europe for many years, contributing to the construction of high-quality communication infrastructure, creating numerous jobs and generating tax revenue for Europe. There is no evidence to suggest that they pose a threat to the national security of the European countries. Politicizing trade, technology, and science will only disrupt normal technological exchanges and cooperation, which is not in the interests of any party involved. We hope Germany will respect facts, make rational decisions, independently make decisions that are in line with its own interests and international rules and provide a fair, transparent, open, and non-discriminatory market environment for enterprises from all countries, including China,” Lin said at a news briefing in Beijing.

Experts from China’s National Engineering Research Center of Juncao Technology launched a training workshop in Vanuatu this month, sharing technology and expertise with the local people to help improve nutrition and food production across the Pacific Islands nation.
In a field just outside of Port Vila, students learned how to nurture a certain type of mulch that can be used to cultivate mushrooms.
“When I saw this mushroom thing, I thought this would be an interesting one,” said Willie Luen, a former science teacher.
Luen is one of about 60 people learning Juncao, a Chinese technology that utilizes Juncao as medium or raw material, through the decomposition, promotion and symbiosis of fungi, to produce mushroom, functional food, feed, fertilizer, biomass energy, biological materials and to apply in environmental protection.
“I would want to share with my community, so that they can also provide their own. And then if they have any access, at least they can sell it or share with their neighboring friends,” he said.
The training workshop aims to improve the income of locals, according to Lin Hui, director of the workshop.
“Train our technology in Vanuatu, we can generate income for the local farmers,” said Lin.
Farmers who learn the technology can grow mushrooms efficiently and in lesser space, thereby increasing their incomes.
“Here in Vanuatu, we don’t have mushrooms. It’s not really well known the fact that this university on Juncao wants to help the farmers to see another way to be able to raise up mushrooms, and probably introduce mushrooms to our diets. That’s something I am interested to know,” said Alexander Micky, a staff member of Support Office under the Vanuatu Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Morris Amos is one of the people taking part in the training workshop. As a provincial administrator for Vanuatu’s Ministry of Health, he is interested in addressing the nutritional challenges that people here face.
“It’s the availability of the nutritious food, available, and how much you can produce and you can easily buy or get access to it,” he said.
Amos believes that nutritional benefits from introducing mushrooms into people’s diets can help.
The technology, which has already been introduced to several Pacific island countries, includes learning how to grow a type of grass that not only aids in the production of mushrooms, but can also feed livestock.
Farmers in Vanuatu often have to import feed for their animals, which is expensive, and the shipments are unpredictable.
“It will really help the farmers. They will just grow the grass and feed the animals, and no need to worry about buying and have to wait for the next load,” said Micky.
The training workshop runs through the end of this month.
