Australia is shocked – shocked – to discover that its main supplier of telecom equipment, Ericsson, depends on Chinese equipment from Panda Electronics, a Nanjing-based manufacturer that appears on the Pentagon’s latest list of Chinese companies linked to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

The supposedly incendiary revelation, by now widely reported in the Australian press, came as the US Defense Department named Panda as being "owned by, controlled by or affiliated with China's government, military or defense industries.”

Panda Electronics, it turns, has a joint venture in China with Swedish giant Ericsson, a major supplier of equipment used by Australian telecom network providers Telstra and Optus. Those tie-ups means Panda, by at least one degree of separation, is and will be involved with Australia’s pending 5G rollout.

Those Anti-China clown will butthurt so much after reading your news bro @Raphael

More than 90% of our electronic products are Made in China, that's because all of their Components are made by Chinese Companies in China.

Let alone no 5G supplier can skip IPs owned by Chinese companies.

Lol, Panda is an RF electronics contractor for pretty much all base station makers. I think even Huawei goes to them for resonant cavity filter expertise.

RF electronics is still a black magic for most of our electronics industry.
