Official account of Chinese International Channel Brazilian Vice President Mourão said in a video conference on the 3rd local time that Brazil is not worried about the threats and pressure from the United States and will not prevent Huawei from participating in the country's 5G construction bidding. Huawei's technology is far superior to other competitors.

U.S. Ambassador to Brazil Todd Chapman said in an interview with Brazilian media on July 29 that if Brazil goes against the wishes of the United States and allows Huawei to participate in the 5G construction bidding in May next year, Chapman threatened that Brazil will bear the "consequences" caused by this move. He also threatened that some companies may stop investing in Brazil as a result.

Brazil originally planned to start bidding for 5G construction in March this year, but due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the bidding time was postponed to 2021, which also made Brazil lag behind other Latin American countries in the global 5G construction progress. Moro said that currently more than one-third of the country's 4G operating networks are using Huawei's equipment. If Huawei products are banned, the equipment already in use will be dismantled and operators will suffer considerable losses.
