2020-01-14 17:46
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday challenged US opponents of Britain's potential decision to let China's Huawei telecoms giant develop its 5G network to come up with a better choice.
The United States and Australia have both banned their 5G providers from using Huawei on security grounds.
Britain's debate about Huawei has dragged on for more than a year.
Johnson must weigh these advantages against the risk of the United States following through on its threat to exclude Britain from intelligence sharing if its signs up Huawei.
Using Huawei "Would be nothing short of madness", a US official was quoted as saying by The Guardian.
