Hounding of Huawei a lowdown dirty trick

In a slap in the face for the United States, which is seeking a blanket ban by European countries on equipment provided by the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei, the British intelligence service has determined that using Huawei equipment does not pose a security threat.

Any possible risks arising from using Huawei technologies in 5G networks can be mitigated, according to a Financial Times report citing two sources familiar with the conclusion of Britain's National Cyber Security Centre.

In addition, the NCSC has never found evidence of malicious Chinese state cyber activity through Huawei despite repeated US accusations to that effect.
