British Prime Minister Theresa May has reportedly approved a limited role for China's Huawei to help build a 5G network in the UK, shrugging off security warnings from senior ministers and Washington surrounding the telecoms giant, media said Wednesday. Britain's National Security Council, which is chaired by May, agreed Tuesday to allow the Chinese technology giant limited access to build "non-core" infrastructure such as antennas, The Daily Telegraph newspaper wrote. The Financial Times, citing those close to the meeting, added that the Chinese company had been banned from more sensitive "core" parts of the project. The Times newspaper meanwhile was more cautious, stating that May was "considering giving limited approval".
Her reported moves come despite concerns raised by Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt. The board—which includes officials from Britain's GCHQ cybersecurity agency as well as a senior Huawei executive and representatives from the UK telecommunications sector—added it could provide only limited assurance that risks posed by the Chinese tech giant to UK national security would be "sufficiently mitigated long-term". Last month, Britain identified "significant technological issues" in Huawei's engineering processes that pose "new risks" for the nation's telecommunications, according to a government report. "Further significant technical issues have been identified in Huawei's engineering processes, leading to new risks in the UK telecommunications networks," read annual findings from the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre oversight board.
May's Downing Street office declined to comment on the story. However, Digital Minister Margot James dismissed the media speculation. "In spite of cabinet leaks to the contrary, final decision yet to be made on managing threats to telecoms infrastructure," she tweeted. She later told Sky News that while a final decision had not been made, James indicated that a security review had concluded. "The decision has not been finally made yet and the Prime Minister will take advice form all of the relevant agencies and departments," James added.
Britain's move would be at odds with the United States, which has banned Huawei's 5G technology from its territory and urged allies in the so-called Five Eyes intelligence sharing collective—comprising also Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand—to follow suit. Huawei is the leading manufacturer of equipment for next-generation 5G mobile networks with almost instantaneous data transfer that will become the nervous system of Europe's economy, in strategic sectors like energy, transport, banking and health care. The technology titan faces pushback in some Western markets over fears Beijing could spy on communications and gain access to critical infrastructure.
Huawei itself welcomed the report. "Huawei welcomes reports that the UK government is moving towards allowing Huawei to help build the UK's 5G network," it said in a brief statement. "This green light means that UK businesses and consumers will have access to the fastest and most reliable networks thanks to Huawei's cutting edge technology. "While we await a formal government announcement, we are pleased that the UK is continuing to take an evidence-based approach to its work and we will continue work cooperatively with the government, and the industry," the Chinese company added.
Shrugging off the widespread concerns, Egypt on Sunday said Huawei would roll out a 5G phone network there for the first time during the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations football tournament.

Όπως υπογραμμίζει το BBC, η κίνηση αυτή αναμένεται να το φέρει σε αντιπαράθεση με τις ΗΠΑ, που πιέζουν άλλες χώρες να απαγορεύσουν τη χρήση του για λόγους ασφαλείας, καθώς και με την Αυστραλία, που πέρυσι απαγόρευσε την χρήση εξοπλισμού 5G της Huawei στα δίκτυά της, όπως και της ZTE. οι ΗΠΑ, η Αυστραλία και το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο είναι μέλη της αποκαλούμενης «συμμαχίας»/ συμφώνου διαμοιρασμού πληροφοριών Five Eyes. Τα άλλα δύο μέλη είναι η Νέα Ζηλανδία- η οποία έχει απαγορεύσει τη χρήση εξοπλισμού 5G της Huawei ενώ συνεχίζει να αξιολογεί τους κινδύνους- και ο Καναδάς, που αμφιταλαντεύεται. Ως εκ τούτου, μια τέτοια κίνηση από το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο ίσως να προέτρεπε τη Νέα Ζηλανδία και τον Καναδά να προβούν σε ανάλογες ενέργειες, στέλνοντας ένα ευρύτερο μήνυμα σε άλλες χώρες ότι δεν υπάρχει λόγος για συνολική απαγόρευση. Πάντως, από πλευράς της, η Ουάσινγκτον εμφανίζεται δυσαρεστημένη από μια τέτοια προοπτική, προειδοποιώντας πως, εάν τα δίκτυα κριθούν μη ασφαλή, θα υπάρχει πρόβλημα στην ανταλλαγή πληροφοριών.
