Tobias Ellwood, the new chairman of the Defence Select Committee, also signed the letter to the government earlier this week.Explained: Why 5G and Huawei matter
Mr Ellwood said:"We don't know the extent to which Huawei is obliged to provide information to the Chinese authorities, by law they have to do so. "We don't know the connections between the intelligence services and Huawei, and it isn't just Huawei, it's China Telecom, it's Tencent, Alibaba - all these companies are obliged to have a very different relationship to the state, to the Communist Party of China, than we have over here.
Pressed on whether the Huawei decision could be a deal breaker in Brexit trade talks, Mr Pence told CNBC:"We'll see. We'll see if it is." His remarks follow claims US President Donald Trump had vented"apoplectic" rage at the prime minister during a recent heated phone conversation with him about the 5G move.
Boris seems to think China is the way to go for having Huawei build the UK’s 5G network and the Chinese govt to build HS2. At what price? Guaranteed 5 Eyes will become 4 Eyes if he doesn’t change his mind on Huawei.
Anything associated with China CANNOT be considered trustworthy!
