UK allowed limited 5G presence for Chinese company

Recommended Posts

(edited)

The UK has decided to let Huawei continue to be used in its growing 5G networks - but with restrictions.

But some industry-watchers believe it will benefit the wider rollout of next-generation mobile data services.

The game is not over yet. If the US and Australia pull out of the 5 Eyes program, then it becomes a useless endeavor. This will have a knock-on effect with NATO.

You say that the US was blackmailing allies? How is that? A security concern is NOT blackmail.

”Chinese diplomats had warned the UK there could be "substantial" repercussions to other trade and investment plans had the company been banned outright.”

This, cut from your article, IS blackmail!

Yes, there a lot of security concerns.

“Some people, even UK defence officials say that security concerns could be contained/mitigated.”

Although it may be true that the risk could be contained or mitigated, why expose yourself to the risk in the first place?

China is known to be active in cyber warfare, so why even consider placing your national security at risk by allowing an adversary to install hardware or software into critical defense systems?
