The Financial Times reported on October 2, 2025, citing unidentified sources, that China is curbing the use of European telecom kit suppliers Nokia and Ericsson in its networks. This development signals a potential regulatory action impacting foreign vendors.

Such a move by China could significantly affect Nokia's market share and revenue streams in one of the world's largest telecom markets. It represents a notable headwind for the company's operations in the region.

The report suggests a strategic shift in China's procurement policies, potentially favoring domestic suppliers. This situation could necessitate adjustments to Nokia's market strategy and operational focus in the country.
