The Boeing 737 MAX 8 encountered system problems, leading to fatal injuries in Indonesia and Ethiopia during 2018 and 2019. Thus, many commercial flights were taken out of service for nearly two years. The alternative model, the 737 MAX 9, even faced anchoring and production restrictions from US authorities following an incident where an Arctic Airlines flight experienced an in- flight blowout next month.
Brussels and Washington have long complained about Beijing’s reported extortion and monitoring of northern defense systems. The US has pressured the UK and EU states to ban Huawei from their 5G network, lest the agency’s tools turn out to encompass backdoors feeding delicate American data to the Chinese authorities. To date, no proof of the alleged skills has been made public.
The European Union and the United States of America have constantly expressed fears regarding Beijing’s rampant fraud and imitating of American military technology. The US has also urged the UK and EU countries to ban Huawei from being involved in their 5G network, fearing that the Chinese firm’s equipment may include hidden access points that could permit the Chinese government to take sensitive American data.
