The Battle over Huawei
(Own report) - With the USA escalating its measures against Huawei Technologies, Berlin is faced with deciding whether to continue its cooperation with that Chinese telecommunications company. Until now, the competent German administrations have been considering cooperating with Huawei for the development of the important 5G mobile communications standards. With its experience, the Chinese company could reliably set up the German network rather quickly and at favorable costs. For German business, it is of utmost importance not to fall behind even further in the development of future state-of-the art technologies. Washington, however, is pushing for the Chinese company to be excluded. The Trump administration - without any evidence, according to experts - is accusing it of having close ties to the Chinese government and intelligence agencies. Washington is indeed seeking to damage Huawei seriously - the world’s largest network provider and second largest smartphone producer - to halt China’s ascendance. Berlin must decide whether it wants to join that battle against Huawei in the economic war against Beijing. ...

Arms exports - Germany continues to deliver to Saudi Arabia via detours
After the murder of journalist Khashoggi, the federal government wanted to stop all arms exports to Saudi Arabia. For fighter jets like the Eurofighter, however, Berlin is an exception. Despite the stop to deliver armaments to Saudi Arabia, the German government does not want to prevent other European nations from exporting weapons systems that Germany is involved in developing. For example, Berlin plans to not veto the SPIEGEL information if Britain sells the jointly developed Eurofighter fighter jet to Saudi Arabia in the next few years. This emerges from a report to the economic committee of the Bundestag, in which the Federal Government explains its further procedure with regard to the stop of delivery to Saudi Arabia. The report is available to SPIEGEL. In the paper, the government promises parliamentarians not to authorize any further export licenses for military equipment into the kingdom. The ban on the permit obviously also applies to components supplied from Germany for armaments produced in other European countries and then exported to Saudi Arabia. The letter states: "In doing so, the Federal Government will closely coordinate with its international, and above all, its European partners." But there is another kind of arms exports that are not supposed to fall under the ban. These are the components that German arms companies contribute to joint European armaments projects - such as the fighter aircraft Eurofighter and Tornado. Both aircraft have already been exported to Saudi Arabia in the past. The jets are also used in the Yemen war, which sharply criticizes human rights organizations. The aircraft were exported via the UK, which has less stringent export regulations than Germany. ...

Central Council in the sights of extremists - Domestic Intelligence Service (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz): Muslim Brotherhood wants Islamic theocracy in Germany
In the medium term, the local offshoots of the most powerful global Islamist movement pose a greater threat to democracy than the terrorist organizations Al Qaeda or the "Islamic State," is the conclusion of the security authorities in this country. The state protectors are also concerned about the great influence of the ultra-conservative Islam movement on the Central Council of Muslims. Four fingers outstretched on one hand. With the "R4bia" greeting from the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently waved to his supporters. At the rallies to visit the controversial head of state in the Central Mosque in Cologne -Ehrenfeld many of his fans had repeated the gesture. The frequently used symbol of the largest global Islamist association is an expression of a worrying development in this country. In North Rhine-Westphalia, according to the findings of the security authorities, the popularity of organizations or mosques, which are attributed to the Muslim Brothers originally from Egypt , is increasing. ...
