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.”

The UK has had Huawei equipment in its residential broadband network for years. Many of the green cabinets are shipped in direct from China. How come no one has mentioned this yet. All those ministers working from home. Anyone assessed the risk?

Then May will make herself as bad as Chamberlain....

Rock and hard place spring to mind

Britain spied on American citizens on behalf of the Obama Admin. Britain can't be trusted.
