Well, since the UK is still part of INSTEX, this decision shouldn’t come as a surprise.
And all the data that goes through a HuaWei device goes straight to China. HuaWei is the cheaper supplier for a reason. The Chinese government doesn’t have to make a cash profit. An Intelligence profit is worth much more.
Technical experts suggest that by excluding Huawei from the core of the 5g network, the risk is minimised. Huawei components won’t be embeded in military instalations etc so this is a fuss abuot nothing.
