It is the largest telecom equipment manufacturer in the world, and its prices can’t be beat. However, some Western governments worry that the Chinese government could use Huawei gear as a Trojan horse to spy on them. The U.S. has been the most anti-Huawei of all, consistently pushing its allies to block the company.
Initially, the UK wasn’t swayed, saying it would allow Huawei gear in the “non-core” parts of its 5G network. But yesterday it made a U-turn, citing U.S. sanctions on chips that could dent the quality of Huawei products.
The British reversal is a major geopolitical win for the U.S. in its fight with China for tech supremacy.
