It’s seen as a major blow for Chinese technology and a win for U.S. President Donald Trump.
The UK says it’s banning China’s Huawei 5G from its networks.
The British government says the decision was not easy, but right for national security and the economy.
The move comes as the U.S. intensifies its campaign against the tech giant.
And it reverses the UK’s attempt in January to allow restricted use of Huawei’s equipment.
From the end of this year, UK operators will not be allowed to buy the firm’s 5G kits.
Gear already in place will have to be removed by 2027.
The UK has reportedly asked Japan to help build its internet infrastructure instead.
What does it mean for the timeline of 5G services?

These guys has no ideas that mean not possible without china .
America believe in free trade when they are competing with developing countries. They know they can win.But when someone comes along and can beat them at it they flush their free trade down the toilet. American want to promote democracy while they colonized Hawaii and many of the surrounding islands next to North America. How many countries are still been colonized . Just because they are small does that make it decent. As for security what about your five eyes.
Its funny the amount of propaganda and hypocrisy I hear from the US these days. If countries were really worried about over seas governments spying on there people wouldn’t Google (Android/Web), Facebook and Youtube be banned because of there information collection policies. I read comments all the times about the reliability of Chinese products and rave reviews of the quality of US products. But in reality many countries contribute to the production of modern tech and so no one country is responsible for the products we buy. For example modern computer chips are built using equipment from ASML which is a Netherlands based company, ARM CPU microcode used in many devices started life in the UK. CPU design software such as Altium started life in Australia. All of these businesses are listed and owned by investors across the globe. The world is now a global market and controlling these markets is dammed near impossible. But for some reason the US believe they can in the name of national security. Will they apply the same logic with other countries if they pose a threat to there economic future, of course they will and they have. Countries such as the UK, South Korea and Australia have huge markets with China and choosing a side is causing our economic futures to be at risk. The reality is the average person does not understand the tech they use, and claims of national security threats is a compelling tool to scare the public into believing political engenders. Security on public networks be it 5G, 4G, UHF radio is achieved through encryption not just sending roar data that governments can read.
Trump you get one attaboy from me.
fair trade from china should be secured from communism first
This is bullshit
Just take Huawei’s tech
Like no other internet companies spy on their users
How come the USA that invented the first mobile phone, now has to rely on China for its telecoms technology? Could it be because the USA has put many of its graduates through useless humanities courses, whilst China has been focusing on STEM?
The UK will resume its 5G business with China after the US elections …
Japan has NEC and Fujitsu for 5G technology
Huawei is setting the highest standard on its equipment, the country or countries can test Huawei ‘s equipment before they are decided to buy them.
Anyone using other 5G providers than Huawei are more at risk of bring spied.
Anyone turning away from 5G, will find their technology and economy lagging behind by several years behind China.
5G applications are already popping up in China.
Cyber Security is a political excuse! All politics!
Huawei already has a working 5G system end to end! Sure you can go a different route by piecing components together from companies all over! But it will cost more… a lot more! And how well will these components work together?! And since Huawei has most of the patents, they get paid either way!
Now US Have 4.5G hahahaha saying they have 5G. Lol. They cannot gasp the 5G technology. Now they trying all unnecessary solution to get it,😂🤣😅
Huawei is the best
I disagree with Simon’s findings. Huawei and the CCP has got to he taken out completely. There should not be any narrative where these entities can take some form of traction to survive.
Simon! Stop peddling the Huawei advantage. The CCP is running out of funds and will end up abandoning their large tech companies that are a drain on their now limited cash reserves.
Western nations= cowards, sore losers, double standards hypocrites.
Such a retarded statement.. Only your ISP can access your data if they want to. They can’t just simply steal the data packages. Imagine if they got caught doing that, that would be the end of Huawei. They won’t risk that.
Western countries always rely on Asia for advanced technologies 😀😎
Why can’t the British build there own ?
😂🤣🤣😂🤣
The world would have to choose to be spied by China or America. Which would you prefer?
It’s called national Security people…. There will always be someone spying… China is Strict n will eventually want the world to recognize and adapt to their ways….
USA became crazy in there security because of huawei presence.
They don’t have any evidence on causation. Huawei and china became great and USA jealous
5G is super EVIL.
Huawei is on a temporary leave of absence in the west, remember that they have a captive audience of over 1.4 billion plus the other 2 billion in Asia and are the leading inovater in 5G and already working on 6G so as Arnold says ” I will be back “
Wow! You are the minority in the West.
What a joke. Refused to develop and go forward because of Trump? The madman. Omg! Such stupidity to obey the order of the psychopath leader. Thought UK was the master of US? Actually US is just another colony of GB. And worst everyone knows trump is using Huawei 5g as his negotiation chips and not because of any national security issues. US already on the road of destroying themselves economically and as a world leader.
About London’s palabra, I remember day that we have a say of all the world political elites, London liars are far the most sophisticated. This notion had been eroded recently the world goes, once liar remains a liar for life. We all know that London kicked into a dungyard where Washington is holding reception for those with enough political naivete, this work for Slovenia’s at helm today also..
USA got influenced UK the China 5g is cheaper then Japan UK should have their own foreign policy not on USA bais
This will all result in an epic world war, and here in Europe we will be right in the middle of it 🙈
It’s a laughing matter that U.K. are looking to Japan for their 5G.
HUAwei chunying…
I do not think it is the issue of one country Spying on another (they all do it) I think it is the issue of spying on any countries citizens and date collection of same and of companies, all that and the fact that any main player in any one industry can at their will hold it over any oppersition company and control citizens.
Good. China has become weak
Yes the void can be filled but it will be 1) more expensive, 2) slower, 3) two years behind in terms of the delivery date, 4) it will have back doors to the various governments plus the US. 5) because of the built-in back doors it will be more vulnerable to hacking by any competent organisation.
from health concern to 5G, i guessing it’s all geopolitic, right ?
US will printing more money out of thin air to compensate any Country band Huawei 5G such as UK, India.
” UK turn to Japan for 5G is liken to asking a blind fellow for direction ” 🤭
it is a game of Trust. and it was good if UK ban huawei without taking the shoulder of US . it is a country it can take decisions independently.
Japan it will take them 5 years… Good luck….
Britain will be paying more not only 5G but so are all items they plan to export to China. Try sell your goods to USA, they even call Canadian lumber and aluminum are a security risk.
If you want to pay more. You think Japan or Korea don’t have back doors just like everybody?
Haha. … the British government will have to be careful of the Japanese government stealing and spying on them, why don’t the UK and the US develop their own 5G technology
The ex Malaysian prime minister Dr T, once claimed the Malaysian should turn to the East for technology. Dr T was not wrong, as we can now see that the west is falling behind with their technology
Well both China and US are doing dirty business. In the end, you just choose your own devil.
When Huawei phones have many parts in its phone made by US companies, how could they be a security threat and if Huawei can improve on the phone to be and can spy on the countries they sell, then USA being the most advanced in the world are way way behind, period
Briten Sala 1940 se hi dayniye istithi me hai
I wonder if anyone else would see an Asian adversity build up when there are Ericsson, Nokia, or even Siemens to fill that gap.
Toshiba did come out and say
“we have started research on 5G” some time in June 2020.
ahem…
China has began testing 6G
“main supplier of NTT Docomo” doesn’t mean much.
The Japanese market is designed on a different system, so that japanese phone don’t have to compete
with the outside world.
Can’t you see there is NO JAPANESE PHONE on the world market?
NEC is strong IN JAPAN
because it can’t compete outside of Japan.
NEC has no business outside of Japan.
100 years ago: US vs superpower nations
20 years ago: US vs China
2 years ago: US vs a Chinese company
2 months ago: US vs kid videos
Now: ??????? US is TOO GREAT?
go japan!
Huawei is the greatest.
Actually protecting Apple 🍎 from Huawei thats why all drama.
Its impossible to collect data from US 🇺🇸 because US 🇺🇸 have strong security one the greatest technology its true.
What about Ericsson and Nokia ? almost neck to neck or in some aspect ahead of Huawei in 5G . also Ericsson is current number 2 in market share and was number 1 for decades. already Ericsson has bag full of global contracts.
Who leader of UK? Trump? Why UK must spent more their money only make Trump happy?
Come on…This is a lose lose decision for both UK and China….On the contrary, the UK is likely to lose very much more than Huawei. For a start, to dismantle all its telecom infrastructure, it will probable lose a couple of billion pounds. The time delay in its 5G network will also cost the UK unfathomable costs not to mention the lost investment opportunities? This is a foolish decision by politicians and the taxpayers will be the one to foot the bill. Regardless of what steps the UK take in coordination with the US to isolate China, it will not succeed. The rise of China is the result of good government policies whereas the decline of the US is likewise the result of bad government policies. They are not the result of external factors but internal.
After numerous support by UK to US I begin to wonder , what the f….k … Racist!!!
Huawei is best we will leave iPhone now coz America does want others to compt what I know they ll be no effort on coming up with great technology bcoz no one is competing so why will you come with smarter expensive technology while no one is competing with you, so I think for USA to think they can’t decide for us we will leave this apple 🍏 stuff of theirs coz we are not Americans who they say Americans first
Looking back at the steady fall of the once mighty Great Britain, one can understand her plight of this diminishing “empire” who still think that history could be leveraged to change its course. With technological changes being absorbed by the developing nations so quickly, the time lag is no longer applicable; in fact at the current rate of development in all sectors, the developing nations are steadily over taking the West in all aspects of comparable technologies. When the nation’s GDP is slowly dropping in the international parade, you can’t hope to influence the rest of the world just by propaganda!
Hwauei is now started to work on 6G 👌
no?
The 5 eyes are just afraid that they cannot spy on their own citizens.
So now the U.K. is turning to Japan to help them to eliminate Huawei, by licensing Huawei patents!
Great decision UK, well Japan can challenge any country in any technology.
Did Huawei ever invent anything? No just repackaging, reassembly, copying of already existing technologies and designs using a much cheaper labor market manufactured in an area of the world that has no environmental laws.
PFFTTT HAHAHAHHAHAHA U bow ur head to japan? Congratz 😂
SINCERELLY HOPE YOUR JAPANESE CARD CAN PULL YOU OVER THE 5G. HUMP BORIS. YOUR MATE TRUMP HAS BEEN HAMPERED FOR NOW PERHAPS IN 2022 HE MAYBE BACK IN THE U.S. SADDLE TO LASSO YOU OUT OF THE HUAWEI DITCH IN YOUR CAMBRIDGE WOODS MATEY. JUST SAY TO MR. XI – ITS NOT PERSONAL JUST BUSINESS N OFFER HIM A BLACKPOOL CANDY STICK HE CAN LICK ON WHILE FACING HIS POLITBURO.
BORIS YOU CUD OFFER THE CAMBRIDGE PLOT TO ” NOKIA” WITH IT YOU CAN REPAY THE DISGRUNTLED P.R.C.
By the time they swap out all equipment 5G will be outdated
Only Sam spies on his friends and allies, then accuses other people spy on him
Ericsson know all about 5G network, no problems. They can fill the void ezy.
do japan even have 5g?
Seems it’s a US and EU collaboration to boycott Huawei not really based on security risks but politically motivated alliances. This is outrageous and biased western outlook.
UK, forever a loser….
01/03/2020
Google Play Store & Google play service is not supported at Huawei Android Phone, So please Dont waste your money to buying Huawei Android Phone.
OPIUM SELLERS…
The US always have 5 G technology. China have always ues their technolog to enrich themselves and also to spied and later
conquer the whole World, that is the aim of Communism. Look at the South China Sea, since it is name with the name China,
they claim that this are their territory, and also claim other nation sea territory. Don’t be fool by Communist China, it is the Dragon or the Devil.
Huawei should sue UK for their action – breaking their contract.
Denmark did the spying on Germany for America, but do you still trust America?
UK is afraid of US like a mother scolding her children
I feel bad for the huawei.
Japan doesnt have 5G. I worked in Tokyo in 2020 and 5G was nowhere availabe.
Go back to Huawei and strike a deal to make the chips Huawei needs to make there products creating jobs and money go back to them don’t belive Trump
Is there 5G Really?
Hahaha chillitos, xenophobia
Lap dog woof woof
US must win but is losing bigtime😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊
Hhuawei just reported increase of profits for year 2021. So, sanction all you like. They are growing nonetheless
Huawei already has graphene technology even better than Kirin or TSMC😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha..let em go. In the end when they crawl back, China is 6G.
I was born in abject poverty – no water, no electricity, no roof, no money – but i learned in life early , never to cheat, lie or steal; it won’t end up well.
Then, I learnt to do the right thing right in everything small and big. And today, I m convinced that it is most rewarding in the end however difficult the decision or task may be – both in terms of tangible and intangible values. Most importantly, I know that is the way man is meant to be & it will never change.
Do not worry Mr Boris, the Japanese will buy from Huawei on OEM basis – you just pay more that’s all
Besides The Christmas and Birthday parties dishonesty add another dishonesty about 5G to your resume
So China can ban google but US can’t ban Huawei?
So US is the same as China which is described as totalitarian or dictator by west?Where is the superiority now?US could ban Huawei ,but why they threat their allies to ban Huawei?Another fact is that US is moving to ban Tiktok! Google is banned because they don’t place server in China,What is the proof they have to Ban Huawei?It is nothing to do with Huawei and Google ,it is just competition and geopolitics.Democracy and free market is already a laughingstock now because it is a tool to contain and oppress other nations
America government like their 4G anything higher they can’t handle it 🤣🤣
It’s very distracting to see the VICE PRESIDENT of Global Government Affairs of HuaWei, Simon Lacey … ‘Playing’ with his chair, swinging from left to right and back.
Why UK needs 5G now its not that 5G was important last year when Huawei offer it to them
They came up with all sorts of clever stories about security issues
Which ever way u sway & turn, u r going to pay through the nose for your arrogance & still u will. Ot get the satisfaction. Period.
Understand that Japan will start to form a 5G telecom company to be named as JapHwei? They will be spending $billion to do research in 5G while China is ahead with 6G and 7G.
UK IS DOOMED AND ON ITS DOWNHILL…NEVER DEAL MUCH LESS TRUST UK👎🇦🇽
I DID NOT KNOW RACISM MAKES PEOPLE THIS STUPID.
Someone can but perhaps 5 times the cost and hefty maintenance cost for the rest of UK taxpayers life. This is your life for being the most lotal lapdog to the US. Ask Germany and Japan as a twice beaten dog in war and their productions
