UK Vindicates Huawei... Sort Of

Following rumors it would do so, a UK parliamentary committee has concluded there are no technical grounds for excluding Chinese telecom giant Huawei from the nation’s 5G networks.In a letter from the chair of the Science & Technology Committee to the UK’s digital minister Jeremy Wright, the committee stated: “We have found no evidence from our work to suggest that the complete exclusion of Huawei from the UK’s telecommunications networks would, from a technical point of view, constitute a proportionate response to the potential security threat posed by foreign suppliers.”That being said, the committee recommended the government to exclude Huawei from the core of 5G networks, noting that UK mobile network operators have mostly done so already (on a voluntary basis).“The conclusion is restricted to technical considerations. There may well be geopolitical or ethical grounds for the Government to decide to enact a ban on Huawei’s equipment.” precised Norman Lamb, Chair of the Committee; perhaps in an effort to appease the U.S. government and other key allies.The tech trade war continues… 😼🐺🦁🐯🦊“Bat” by OpenClipart-Vectors (Pixabay)
