Britain will never make a decision on Huawei and 5G that would threaten its intelligence sharing alliance with the U.S. - but it also doesn't want a new Cold War with China - UK Foreign Secretary Hunt
LONDON, May 14 - Britain would never take a decision on Huawei and 5G that would threaten its intelligence sharing alliance with the United States but it also does not want a new Cold War with China, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Tuesday.
Huawei, the world’s biggest producer of telecoms equipment, is under intense scrutiny after the United States told allies not to use its technology because of fears it could be a vehicle for Chinese spying. Huawei has categorically denied this. “We as a government are going through the process of making an assessment to what extent if, at all, we are able to use Huawei kit,” Jeremy Hunt told a Wall Street Journal conference.
“We are never going to make a decision which compromises our intelligence sharing with our five eye partners.”
