The UK government has made the dangerous choice to submit to American black mail over continuing the partnership with Huawei in the supply and installation of the 5G network. According to engineers it is largely a dumb pipe network that is no danger to anyone.
We have fallen to the paranoia of Trump with far reaching consequences to our trade investment and political relationships with China and the far East.
It will be exceedingly damaging to the many large companies now owned or jointly owned in the UK by China. It will have far reaching affects on employment, trade and finances.
China is far more important to our future than is the USA. Yet we have given America power over our decision making and future prosperity...
With the Huawei system The 5G network in the UK is built on the top of the 3 and 4G one built by Huawei with very little additional equipment required. It has not been decided if this 3 And 4G backbone has to be removed as well. If it is, it will set the program back even further. And most likely seriously reduce even the existing 4g coverage for a number of years. All this on the tenuous idea that China might have secret access.
I would suggest that any country could gain any access to the network of any country they might wish to, without having any special privileges at all. It will always be down to ourselves as to how secure the network remains. It does no rely on who supplied some of the hardware.
I can not see China remaining neutral on this turn of events. It will turn out to be a very costly mistake for us. And remove any remaining financial industrial and trade influence that we may have had in the far Eastern world. This will cause lasting damage to our future prospects outside the EU.
Our world trade prospects under this government are worsening by the day.
