The first sparks of the trade war between the U.S. and China emerged when the U.S. banned the Chinese manufacturer from its 5G infrastructure work. To summarize briefly, the USA accused Huawei of spying for the Chinese government, while Huawei argued that they did not do such a thing. As a result, the U.S. imposed an embargo on Huawei. The Trump administration did not remain so much and asked its allies to end their relationship with the Chinese producer. For this purpose, lobbying activities were also started in many countries. US manufacturers also stopped working with Huawei. ‘Being technologically dependent’ At the National Security Council meeting chaired by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the UK, Huawei’s role in the 5G infrastructure will be discussed. The council is not expected to announce the decision immediately. The rumors are that Johnson will impose a partial prohibition and will disable Huawei only on the ‘main parts’ of the network. Boris Johnson said in a statement today that they want to develop a system to prioritize consumer benefits without risking national security. Previous Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Jeremy Hunt, in a statement to the BBC, questioned whether it would make sense for the UK to be technologically dependent on another country. The U.S. is trying to block Huawei: The U.S. is trying to prevent Huawei from standing out in the 5G market. Mike Pompeo retweeted deputy Tom Tugendhat’s anti-Huawei statements and said, “Deputy Tom Tugendhat got it right.” The United States, which banned Huawei and 68 related companies last year, sent a file to the British government two weeks ago. The file contained vulnerabilities caused by working with Huawei, according to the United States. UK intelligence, on the other hand, believes that it is possible to establish a system where the main parts of the communication network are not open to interference. Three, 02, EE and Vodafone, which currently have 5G infrastructure in the UK, use not only 02, Huawei branded equipment, but they also have a network sharing agreement with Vodafone. Ericsson and Nokia also produce equipment for the 5G infrastructure, but their equipment is more expensive. On the other hand, the charges against Huawei are also a bit ironic, because the company has been operating in the UK for exactly 15 years and most of the 4G network in the country consists of the company’s products.
