The UK government has defied the US to give Chinese company a role in improving the UK's digital infrastructure.The US believes it will give Chinese intelligence services a backdoor into Britain.
However, in a statement, the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport said that Huawei would be excluded from the network's "core" functions, with the company restricted to operating just 35% of the overall network. "Huawei is reassured by the UK government's confirmation that we can continue working with our customers to keep the 5G roll-out on track," Victor Zhang, Huawei's vice-president, said.
Pompeo endorsed a tweet from Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, who warned that allowing Huawei into such a critical part of infrastructure could have a "real cost" and undermine the UK's sovereignty.
