According to the Financial Times (FT), U.S. National Security Advisor Robert O’Brian has warned the UK about the dangers of using Huawei for its 5G networks.
In the ongoing war between the U.S. and Huawei, the U.S. has been pressuring allies to avoid the telecommunications company over allegations it provides a way for Beijing to spy on other countries. All Chinese corporations are required by law to assist the government when requested. Huawei, however, has closer ties with the Chinese government than many corporations. A number of wireless companies have already said they are using another manufacturer to build out their networks.
