US aims to block Huawei PNG project with competitive offer
- Friday | 28th September, 2018
Papua New Guinean Minister for State Investment William Duma told Papua New Guinea’s The National newspaper last month that China’s Exim Bank would finance the $200 million project. The United States has not had an ambassador in Australia since 2016, with Caruso filling in as top diplomat. It also follows Australia shutting Huawei out of contracts to build a national 5G mobile network on security grounds, and blocking it from laying a subsea communications cable from Sydney to PNG and the Solomon Islands. Huawei, which denies its equipment is a security threat, had no immediate comment. Representatives of Australia, Japan and Papua New Guinea had no immediate response when contacted by Reuters.
