Huawei Technologies, the Chinese tech giant at the center of a growing schism between the western powers and Beijing, celebrated when the British government allowed the company limited access to the country’s next-generation 5G wireless network back in January. Well, the tables have turned now as the UK officially barred Huawei today from its high-speed wireless network.

While asserting that the continued presence of Huawei-sourced gear in the nation’s 5G network created an intolerable level of risk, the UK has now officially banned the purchase of telecommunication components from Huawei after December 2020. Moreover, any residual Huawei gear in UK’s 5G network will have to be replaced by 2027. According to the British government, pursuing an accelerated timeline for the removal of the equipment sourced from the Chinese tech giant will create fresh avenues of risk, debilitating the network’s resilience and security. Consequently, today’s directive aims to strike a balance between maintaining the stability of the nation’s next-gen wireless network and hardening it against any potential infiltration by the Chinese state machinery for espionage purposes.
