[en] China's ambition to become a global leader in emerging and foundational technologies, which is partly channelled through state-led industrial efforts such as "Made in China 2025", prompted a strong response from other states. These developments coincided in time with the rollout of the 5G infrastructure, surrounded by the controversy over the involvement of Chinese technology companies in the process. In this global context, politicization and securitization of the 5G rollout seem almost unavoidable. This outcome emanates not only from the vivid geopolitical tensions but also from the nature and economic implications of 5G that give rise to various types of national security risks.
This being set as a context, the chapter explores the role of international economic law in preventing geopolitically induced restrictions and in providing companies with a right to question their legality and to seek redress.
