News24xx.com - Enforcement has been stated in the rules set by the Japanese Government for two world-famous mobile brands, Huawei and ZTE. This is due to cases that occurred due to security issues within the Japanese government.

As is known in the past, the case that happened to Huawei caused considerable losses. Huawei and ZTE were accused of espionage using the components they made. And the first to make the accusation was United States when ZTE violated a trade agreement with the US government.

ZTE is known to secretly sell US-made components to North Korea and Iran.

The US government then forbids anyone using Huawei and ZTE components. The Japanese government, which has good relations with US, through its spokesman Yoshihide Suga, also said, "Cyber security is an important issue in Japan. We will take decisive steps to see it from various perspectives" Quoted from The News International on Thursday, December 13th 2018.

Quoted by Kompas Tekno from Reuters on Thursday, December 13th 2018, this rule will be imposed immediately in the near future. This step was taken by the government by revising internal procurement rules and excluding products made by Huawei and ZTE.

In addition to Japan, the countries which also implemented the same thing are Australia and New Zealand. The two countries followed the US government's appeal to ban the use of components made by Huawei and ZTE.

This distrust of the United States in China is motivated by a trade war that has an impact on the climate of the telecommunications industry which is increasingly heating up. And the US passed a law prohibiting government institutions and government contractors from using Huawei and ZTE technology.
