China's Ambassador to London, Liu Xiaoming, has sharply criticized attempts by senior figures in the UK's Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, to block Huawei's participation in the rollout of 5G networks in the country.
The UK government said last month that "high-risk vendors" such as Huawei would be barred from critical infrastructure, and its involvement in the supply of 5G equipment for a minor part of the infrastructure, the Radio access network (RAN) , will be capped at 35%.
βThey are completely wrong, I think what they are doing is a kind of witch hunt. Huawei is a private company that has nothing to do with the Chinese government, and the only problem they face is a Chinese company,β Liu Xiaoming told the BBC in response to a request for comment from a number of former ministers to the UK Conservative Party. in which they express concerns about the use of Huawei equipment.
The Chinese government was satisfied Britain to allow Huawei to build 5G networks, he added, although not 100%, since the 35% limit does not reflect the principle of free economy and free competition declared here.
