In recent weeks, Huawei has been facing escalating scrutiny in three major European economies: Britain, Germany and Italy.

More than a dozen British parliamentarians have called on the country’s foreign secretary to exclude Huawei Technologies from building Britain’s 5G network over the company’s alleged links to the troubled Chinese region of Xinjiang.

[Boris Johnson’s] decision over Huawei will set the tone for his premiership, especially in relation to human rightsIn their letter, the parliamentarians, led by Conservative Tom Tugendhat, said the British government “cannot and must not” deal with the Shenzhen-based company until allegations of human rights violations in Xinjiang “are comprehensively dismissed”.

In early December, Johnson suggested that Britain’s “Five Eyes” security pact with the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand could influence his decision on Huawei. But the German parliament is still debating 5G regulations, including technicalities that could exclude the Chinese tech giant.
