Earlier on Friday, The Times reported that Johnson has instructed civil servants to make plans to end Britain’s reliance on China for vital medical supplies and other strategic imports.
Beijing is being criticised for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, which began in China. Beijing denies U.S. allegations it has not been transparent about the outbreak.
“He (Johnson) still wants a relationship with China but the Huawei deal is going to be significantly scaled back. Officials have been instructed to come up with a plan to reduce Huawei’s involvement as quickly as possible,” a source was quoted by the Telegraph as saying.
The development would be a change of direction for Britain, which in late April confirmed it would allow Huawei to have a role in building its 5G phone network.
I hope China implodes.
Allowing Red China to supply you with vital communications infrastructure is giving them the opportunity to spy on you and to shut you down at will. Incredibly stupid to let them provide anything, period.
Boris to China...Bite Me!!
US liberals are sad.
Way to go, Boris!
Reduces? So,IOW,he’s decided that he only wants the “Peoples Liberation Army” to get *some* of NATO’s secrets,and only *some* of Britain’s nuclear secrets,instead of all of them?
Allow “some”?? Is that like being “a little” pregnant?
Enough with the half measures, either Britain bans Huawei or they can pound sand.
