Chinese ambassador says Britain should make its own decisions
28 April 2019 - 17:09London — China has warned Britain not to discriminate against companies involved in developing the 5G network and to resist pressure from other countries over whether it should work with Huawei Technologies.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, China’s ambassador to Britain Liu Xiaoming defended Huawei as having a good track record on security and said Britain should “make decisions independently and in accordance with their national interests”. Meanwhile, Dutch telecom firm Royal KPN said on Friday it would select a Western supplier to build its core 5G mobile network, making it one of the first European operators to make clear it would not pick China’s Huawei for such work.
“They see the core networks as somewhat more critical than the radio access networks,” said De Jager, who served as the Netherlands’ finance minister from 2010-2012.The Dutch government has yet to take a stance on the issue, although the head of the country’s intelligence agency in April warned against buying technology from Russia or China, countries whose spying activities he said threatened national security.
