Government commits to removing Chinese-manufactured surveillance equipment from sensitive government sites in response to national security concerns linked to China.
Reuters journalist Muvija M reports, “British lawmakers have previously called for a ban on the sale and use of security cameras made by Hikvision and Dahua, two partly state-owned Chinese firms, over privacy fears and concerns of the companies' products being linked to human rights abuses in China.”
Reuters said that Chinese company Hikvision responded via e-mail to the measures initiated by Britain. "We believe that the possible action by the UK Government is a further step up of the mounting geopolitical tensions being expressed through technology bans, which by no means relates to the security of Hikvision’s products," said Hikvision’s spokesperson.
In its commitment to eliminate Chinese-made security equipment, the British government will propose changes to the Procurement Bill after debating it in parliament next week. Britain’s Junior cabinet office minister Jeremy Quin said in a statement that new measures would protect UK’s sensitive sectors from companies that could threaten national security.
