Restriction on Huawei provides chances for Europe

United States government restrictions on Chinese technology champions like Huawei provide "enormous" opportunities for European counterparts, according to industry insiders.

Technology firms from the United Kingdom and other European nations still have synergistic business relationships with Chinese counterparts.

"The UK's 5G development needs participation from Huawei. The UK government and companies should make decisions by measuring Huawei's merits rather than political powers," said John McLean, director of the China-Britain Business Council, in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
