The #UK followed the #US in discriminating against & excluding #Huawei on the ground of alleged risks without any evidence. It violated market principle & free trade rules, broke its own commitment and undermined China-UK mutual trust.
It's not about a company or sector, but about the #UK politicizing commercial & tech issues, about Chinese investment facing greater threats, about whether one still takes the UK market as open, fair & non-discriminatory.
We will assess this development in a comprehensive & serious manner and take all necessary measures to protect the legitimate interests of Chinese enterprises.
Banning #Huawei is not about #nationalsecurity, but political manipulation & oppression. Trump admits to talking many countries out of using Huawei. It shows again that it's the #US, not China, that has been intimidating, threatening and coercing others.
Cooperation with #Huawei in the past 20 years serves #UK interests. Banning Huawei will hurt its interests. It's a big world. The UK ban won't stop Huawei from growing stronger.
Will the #UK maintain its independence or become a cat's paw for the #US? It is the responsibility of the British government to make a decision that best serves its people's interests.
