Huawei banned? Last week the Economic Times of India reported that Huawei, China's leading telecoms equipment manufacturer, and ZTE had been blocked from participating in the construction of India's 5G network. The ban would come on the heels of the two Chinese companies being blocked from Australia and the U.S. as well. But Huawei later responded to the report, describing it as "inaccurate" and claiming that the Indian government has been open and welcoming to Huawei. ZTE did not respond. Caixin
