The Telegraph: Huawei will be allowed to build parts of Britain’s 5G network

Huawei will be allowed to build parts of Britain’s 5G network, Boris Johnson has ruled.

The Chinese company will be given access to “non-core” parts of the network but will be banned from “sensitive locations” such as military or nuclear sites.

Agreement at last. The Brits - in typical fashion - lop their nose off to spite their face. The people telling Boris or whoever is the prime decision maker for this contract that it can be managed, is lying.

They can be managed. Whose selling defective crystal balls to these people? The Chinese?

You have to ask, what sane person would let an enemy set up part of your network? Do they not think the enemy can do something later to you?
