A very good move UK. This brand tends to have lots of allegations over the year and every country should take this action despite considering their cost effectiveness.

    S Yu, 14 Jul 20202-3 times more expensive? lmfao? Have you seen the bids of ... moreYes,2-3 times,in some countries possibly even more,like,say,Australia last year.All contracts were signed and practically closed,then a misterious call came from a certain orange dude from D.C. who stopped the deal.How can you be so naive to think that anybody can outbid world's biggest 5G network hardware manufacturer?A year ago both Nokia and Ericsson admitted they're (way) behind Huawei,but suddenly with the help of orange dude everything's changed??Right.Last week Nokia admitted their CPU,the brain that powers 5G hardware was a big fail,(BBC,Reuters..), and admitted Huawei's chip is way better,more functional,much more energy efficient and much cheaper.Both Nokia and Ericsson have few factories in China,but most of their network tech is produced in Europe(Poland,Estonia,Finland,Sweden),some even in the US.You really think that qualified workers in those countries will work for $2/h,like in China?So,how can these Europe companies outbid "communist" Huawei??Ask orange muppet..Chinese banks are financing a (largely) state owned company,that's your biggest issue?Apple and Google financing Congress,Senate and Orange one to get rid of completion, that's fine? Brilliant....free market,liberal market economy, democracy...whatta joke...

                    I hope that more countries in Europe will be added to the ban,

                      So does that mean they can install and fit all the spying stuff till Dec 31??

                                China should ban sales of any telecommunications equipment, smartphones and any parts which may be used in equipment or sold to US/UK. Let them produce smartphones themselves, people already pay mortgage on everything, add there smartphones 5k a piece.

                                    Yet another bad decision by the UK government. Their security services have been working with Huawei for 20 years and have found no reason to prevent the deployment of their equipment to date. Why this arrangement was not continued seems to be purely political in supporting the commercial vandalism of the USA. Hopefully China will retaliate and stop supporting major US companies like Apple, HP, Google and Amazon with their efficient manufacturing facilities until they stop the bullying of Huawei and ZTE because they invest more and develop better technology than their US competition.

                                      China is seriously a pain in everybody's arse.
                                      And I'm seeing in the comment section that many agents are trying hard to show that China is cute and innocent.
                                      Lol
                                      They don't know what will China do next if it is not stopped.
