This means that you need control over the devices (and services ie google) not the networks as even if you could do MITM attack via network you would be stuck with encryption.

Well, my technical understanding of it is limited and more or less equals only what is described in this piece abiout the technical background and implications. There seems to be a habit in Europe to base the assessment of the risk for 5G on outdated technical understanding.

I cautiously tend to agree with the American position here. They seek their economic advanatge by bullying Huawei, yes, but their technical concerns imo also sound valid.
