China's Special Representative on European Affairs Wu Hongbo points out that the idea of "de-risking" has been politicized and even weaponized. For example, Huawei is being accused of being a threat to Western national security with no hard evidence. Even after Huawei expressed willingness to enter into a "no-backdoor agreement" with any government, Western countries continue insisting Huawei is a risk to national security. Wu says this is a political witch hunt.
