The UK needs to consider how happy it is for Chinese technology companies such as Huawei to be involved in the country's communications infrastructure, the head of MI6, Young, has said in a speech at St Andrews University. Australia has blocked Huawei from supplying it with 5G equipment, while New Zealand is consulting before making its decision. Younger also warned Russia not to underestimate the determination of the UK and its allies, which expelled Russian intelligence officers and impaired the country's spying capabilities following the poisoning of Sergei Skripal in Salisbury.
