Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Huawei: We will do 5G without hurting security
LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday he would make a decision on Huawei’s role in Britain’s future 5G network that would give Britons the benefits of the new technology without compromising national security.
He faces pressure from Washington - and some members of his ruling Conservative Party - not to give Huawei any role because of fears the Chinese company would gain access to British secrets. Huawei denies it is a vehicle for Chinese intelligence. “So the Five Eyes security relationships we have, we have got to keep them strong and safe,” he said. “We are going to come up with a solution that enables us to achieve both those objectives.”
Huawei, the world’s biggest producer of telecoms equipment, says the United States wants it blocked from Britain’s 5G network because no U.S. company can offer the same range of 5G technology at a competitive price.Tom Tugendhat, a Conservative former head of the British parliament’s foreign affairs committee, compared giving Huawei access to Britain’s 5G network to “nesting that dragon” and “allowing the fox into the hen house when really we should be guarding the wire”.
Britain welcomes foreign investment but needs assurances that national security will not be compromised, Matt Warman, the minister for digital and broadband, told parliament.
