Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Lithuania urges people to throw away Chinese phones
The Republic of Lithuania is one of three Baltic states in Europe and lies on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. Though it is small in population and land size, the country is full of innovation in the fields of software engineering, AI-driven solutions, and fintech product development. Recently, the nation’s Cyber Security Center tested 5G smartphones of Chinese brands and found built-in censorship tools in one of the models and security flaws in another. With those findings, the Defense Ministry warned the owners of those phones to throw away these 5G smartphones even though neither of the phone manufacturers admitted such problems in their latest smartphones. Lithuania’s market is small, but this warning most likely triggers further scrutiny in other European countries where the same models are sold.
Will Europe become another market that blocks phones made by Chinese manufacturers?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about Lithuania’s move to oust Chinese high-tech products.
