Huawei 5G: UK spies think risks can be managed

CNN  

Hong Kong CNN Business — The United Kingdom could undermine an American-led campaign to keep Chinese tech company Huawei out of super-fast 5G mobile networks around the world. The National Cyber Security Centre declined to comment Monday on the specifics of the Financial Times report but said in a statement that it has “a unique oversight and understanding of Huawei engineering and cyber security.” The intelligence agency is playing an important role in a broader UK government review examining the security of technology that operators plan to use in 5G networks in the country. A British government oversight panel that monitors Huawei’s activities in the United Kingdom warned last year that it can provide only “limited assurance” that the company’s telecoms equipment poses no threat to national security. The company said in a recent letter to UK lawmakers that it could take as long as five years before the upgrade shows “tangible results.” UK could influence others How Huawei fares in the United Kingdom could influence decisions by other governments that have stepped up scrutiny of the company’s products, such as Germany.
