High praise for Reliance Jio from US; State Secy Pompeo lauds Mukesh Ambani firm for rejecting Chinese co

Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio, after drawing global investors, is now attracting global praise as US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo termed the digital telecommunications arms of Reliance Industries as a ‘clean teleco’ along with other major global telecommunications players. Mike Pompeo, in a tweet, named leading global telecom companies that have been shunning the infamous Chinese company Huawei and moving on to partner with more ‘trusted 5G vendors’. US President Donald Trump’s administration has repeatedly attacked the Chinese communications technology infrastructure provider, claiming it has ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the military.

“The tide is turning toward trusted 5G vendors and away from Huawei. The world’s leading telecom companies—Telefonica, Orange, Jio, Telstra, and many more—are becoming Clean Telcos,” Mike Pompeo Tweeted. He went on to add that the telecom companies are rejecting doing business with Huawei, which he said is a tool of the CCP surveillance state.
