LONDON - China's Huawei Technologies has failed to convince British security officials that the risks of using its products in the UK's national infrastructure can be adequately managed, according to a government report released on Thursday .

The findings will increase pressure on Huawei, the world's biggest maker of telecoms networking equipment, which has been besieged by repeated rounds of US sanctions and allegations that its products can be used by Beijing for spying. After initially granting Huawei a limited role in Britain's 5G infrastructure, Prime Minister Boris Johnson reversed that decision in July, ordering all of the company's equipment to be purged from national networks by the end of 2027.

Increased vetting meant the number of vulnerabilities identified in Huawei equipment in 2019 rose significantly compared to the previous year, the report said, including one issue with the company's broadband products that was deemed to be of"national significance."
