Huawei is under intense scrutiny after the US told allies not to use its technology due to fears it could be a vehicle for Chinese spying

Picture: REUTERS/KACPER PEMPELBritain will allow Huawei Technologies a restricted role in building parts of its 5G network, seeking a middle way in a bitter dispute between the US and China over the next generation of communications technology.
A security source told Reuters that Britain would block Huawei from all core parts of the 5G network and access to noncore parts would be restricted. A second source confirmed that. Both spoke on condition of anonymity. In what some have compared to the Cold War arms race, the US is worried 5G dominance would give any global competitor such as China an advantage Washington is not ready to accept.5G, which will offer much faster data speeds and become the foundation stone of many industries and networks, is seen as one of the biggest innovations since the birth of the internet itself a generation ago.
Huawei's equipment is either not present or is being stripped out of existing core networks in Britain, but is widely used in existing lower risk parts such as radio masts.
