Smartphone users welcome 5G network's collaboration with Huawei in Spain
I consider it very safe, and its password system and many other aspects make people trust this brand," said Ana, a local resident.
SPAIN (Reuters) - Huawei smartphone users across Spain expressed their expectations after Vodafone announcement oflaunching its 5G network in cooperation with Chinese telecom giant Huawei in 15 Spanish cities, including Madrid and Barcelona, on Saturday.
While looking forward to the upcoming way faster download speeds of up to 1 Gbps, the Spanish also said they trust in the quality of Huawei products.
"I think Huawei is very competitive compared with other brands so they should not envy of it. I consider it very safe, and its password system and many other aspects make people trust this brand," said Ana, a local resident.
"I began to use Huawei four years ago and it’s very pleasant experience for me. I like its design and technologies, including the softwares and camera, which are noted for perfect effect, low price and excellent quality, so I really love it. Huawei has the best 5G technology and I believe it is going to work well," according to Enrique.
Many expressed their opposition to the U.S. move to suppress Huawei amid the escalating trade frictions between China and the United States, as it violates the principles of free market.
"I don’t think the U.S. is doing the right thing. The entire Western world advocates free market, but deny the East access to this market. So who is this free market really for? Is it only for Westerners while excluding people of the other side of the world who need to raise their families just like us? A free market is a free market, and it should not only serve a certain group of people," said local resident Erik.
Meanwhile, economists said when suppressing Huawei, the United States has in fact harmed itself as its behaviors will bring negative effects to its domestic companies as well as its western allies.
"The U.S. sanctions, to some extent, are not only targeting China, but will also affect its own firms as well as companies from its allies in Western world," said Juan Tugores, a professor of economics from University of Barcelona.
