Conditions must instead be met for the Chinese tech firm to be considered, says Matt Hancock. FMTNews Huawei
LONDON: China’s Huawei has clear conditions to meet for Britain to continue to allow its involvement in the development of 5G telecoms infrastructure, Britain’s health minister said on Sunday, after a report that the firm would be banned from the project.
Asked about the report, health minister Matt Hancock declined to comment on it specifically but said the initial recommendation had always been conditional. “I’m sure that the National Security Council will look at those conditions, and make the right decision on this, to make sure that we have both a very strong telecoms infrastructure … but also that it is secure.”
On Tuesday he toughened his rhetoric on Huawei, warning China he would protect critical infrastructure from “hostile state vendors”.
