BERLIN, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Huawei Germany  HWT.UL  on
Wednesday rejected what it called the "pure politicisation" of
cyber security after an official from the country's interior
ministry said it wanted to force 5G operators to slash their use
of the Chinese company's equipment.
    In a statement to Reuters, Huawei said such a move would
raise costs for network providers, which would be passed on to
consumers, and also hurt the digital transformation in Germany.
