China’s government said at a meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that Australia’s restriction on Chinese 5G technology was “obviously discriminative” and appeared to break global trade rules, Reuters reported.
China’s representative at the WTO’s Council on Trade in Goods said measures to restrict 5G technology had a “great impact on international trade” and would not address concerns about cybersecurity, but only make countries technologically isolated.
The Chinese representative said Australia had not published any official documents about the ban, which appeared to have come into force in September last year.
