LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to ban Huawei from Britain’s 5G network on Tuesday, angering China but delighting U.S. President Donald Trump by signalling that the world’s biggest telecoms equipment maker is no longer welcome in the West.
The United States has pushed Johnson to reverse his January decision to grant Huawei a limited role in 5G, while London has been dismayed by a crackdown in Hong Kong and the perception China did not tell the whole truth over the coronavirus. Johnson chaired a meeting of Britain’s National Security Council on Tuesday morning to discuss Huawei. Media Secretary Oliver Dowden will announce the decision to the House of Commons at around 1130 GMT.
“Obviously the context has changed slightly with some of the sanctions that the U.S. has brought in,” Environment Secretary George Eustice told Sky News when asked about Huawei.
The whole of West are envious of the digital know-how of the Chinese, that's all.All these years they were busy perfecting their strategies as how to neo colonize Africans but before they could wake up from their slumber,China is already a decade ahead of them technologically.
The United States does not want Huawei to become a communications equipment supplier in European and American countries. Because Huawei dared to sign a no-backdoor agreement. If you use Huawei equipment. The US government will not be able to monitor citizens.
This is a very, very smart move Mr. Prime Minister. Huawei is a spy Organization for China. They are a threat to freedom and seek World dominance! FT WSJ
JustinTrudeau are you paying attention
Trump always raises good dogs. Proud of you realDonaldTrump MakeAmericaGreatAgain GreatBritainNeverGreat
ScepticalAussie Who cares about how it makes Trump feel? It's completely irrelevant. China's CCP is extremely predatory and we need to look out for our best interests. We should NOT appease China or facilitate them stealing our IP just to spite Trump. Get a grip.
The thief is caught and now the he must pay.
xi jinping is very angry
Boycott China, Made in China
Glad and pleased. Cheap ain't mean good.
ummm somehow it made Boris sounds like a loyal dog wiggling his tails at his fatass boss from across the Atlantic...
World biggest telecom equipment maker😂😂😂
CCP agents on this twitter reply are such a joke!
THIS IS A GOOD THING!
Seriously, who can confirm the 5G device provided by the other company is safety?
A country, like a person, can decide to buy something or not. Right? One day China may buy Soy beans from Canada and the next not. The whims of the market and choice.
BorisJohnson won’t do symbolic gestures unless realDonaldTrump tells him to. 🙄
It’s not only Trump appeasement but this is a strong message to China doing in Hong Kong which was completely reverse on “what they have agreed on, given 2 governance system for 50years” . Democracy should unite against authoritarian ideology
A small step by Britain turns into a big step for humanity and the world.
good puppy of Trump
The lost lies in UK. Technology will be booming in Asia, while western countries stay back and struggle with outdated equipments. It’s your stupid supremacy and useless pride inside that can’t accept the fact that China has already surpassed in many areas.
Boris is playing trick on Trump, the ban is in 7 years demobilization, it will be 10G after finished ban. Silly Trump & American.
Good job for many reasons INCLUDING HIDING AND DENYING COVID.
Wise and patriot decision, All EU countries and rest of the world should follow.
Wow!
So BorisJohnson is realDonaldTrump pet dog too
Add to that is the surveillance and espionage activity of many Chinese enterprises and even students.
Although I don’t agree with BJ on many things,this is a good decision.
Please also ban visitors from China and purchase order from China, Thank you!
It means Britain is not that unbeatable Empire anymore.Such a shame.Reich could destroy this fucking country without that fucking English channel.
Does privacy matter only in US? What do you mean by 'Appeasing Trump'?
Time for India to follow suit!!
Also, it's curious to note that Mr. Johnson's government still grants Huawei a 7 year cushion. More than what they demanded. Eyewash. This shows the genuineness of this decision.
Well Huawei and Tiktok are a Chinese spy net that gives access to every wifi or bluetooth connection a individual connects to.
After all that has transpired this year, politicians continue to disappoint with their myopic worldviews and petty politicking. The lukewarm response to China's overtures in Hong Kong can not be neutralized by discouraging competition. America's pup plays the same dirty tricks.
UK🇬🇧is subservient to the US🇺🇸? A disappointment for most🇬🇧English people. A multipolar🌍🌏🌎Countries,support: 🇨🇳China & Huawei Assisting their progress.
Its just a waste of money for UK，many say huawei should be banned with no evidence at all.
there no prove why you believe a lier
Atleast do it
uuuuuuuuuhh que fuerte
It will cost UK lots of money and job losses, shame on the UK government, they will suffer by themselves.
Amazing decision. China needs to learn. They must be sanctioned. They have brought the world to a standstill, time to bring China down.
5G allows MACHINES to communicate with each other. Imagine a driverless car that has to communicate with the road, with the server, with other cars so it doesnt crash. The Chinese Communist Party vision is to have total control over these networks. Do u want that?
about time.
It was a terrible decision to allow it at all. It was nothing in comparison to allowing them to do the the works on the mainline infrastructure years ago, but that's here nor there. A continuation of this countries utter failure strategic defence.
Ban ,everything from China ....world's sick man
Ban China in every way possible
Just release the *concrete, without a doubt proof* that Huawei is spying already.
still, Reuters deliberately skip that Huawei is indeed a CCP state own company, and an affiliate of the PLA. I don't see Norway Gov angry on a country that choose not to use Nokia, or the US Gov acts like China Gov when a country choose not to use Qualcomm.
Decisions made for UK & nothing to do with pleasing the likes of the sociopathic narcissist in the WH realDonaldTrump 😡😡😡 UK people & government can think for themselves!
Huawei should make its telecom network so advance and affordable, that the Western countries not tied down by the Trump threats will queue up to buy. Huawei should turn to a new page. Take the US and UK bad experience as a lesson learned.
Yesterday there were reports of the UK hoping for a good trade deal with China to partially make up for losses from Brexit. Suppose one can always stand up to what will soon be 1 world economy, but perhaps there should be a plan there somewhere.
UK is nothing but USA’s sucker
Don’t buy anything from UK anymore
Thank goodness. It will be such a pleasure to have the CIA monitoring us and sucking up our data and not those pesky Chinese.
GOOD ON UK!
Good move. You should ban any company you cannot compete.
Ask for yourself where is Apple iPhone 11 manufacturing? 🤔 This fight is just to keep Huawei behind, too good products for Trump?
Uk signaling they are the greatest bootlicker of them all.
Boris is Trump's muppet?
Its pure Trump appeasementb - won't be done as Trump will not be the president for much longer.
Doesn't make sense. Why to follow USA rules?
A good news after a good gap. The last one when I became father again...11 years back!
这种没有主见的国家老大还真是个奇葩....就像你天天用的餐具被外面的人给你一说有问题.你马上就神经质的要准备把碗摔了一样.有没有问题你吃了那么多年你自己没有点考量？人家给你说有问题是想干什么你都不考虑一下？说你脑残吧.好不好你问在用的客户和运营商和相关的专家不就清楚了？
A good decision security is most important.
it has nth to do with China or Trump spyware should be banned, that's all
What bearing does “delighting Trump” have to do with anything? We should all be delighted, have your heads been buried in sand?
Is this what taking back control was all about? Giving up letting the EU tell us what to do, only to let Trump control us!
Wise choice, let's see what Chinese would rule with their communist technology.
I can think of two good reasons for banning them from doing business in any decent society...
Dear leader from the other side of the Atlantic told him to do so...he had to behave.
Good for the UK.
and the alternative ?
