China's Foreign Ministry stated on Wednesday Beijing "strongly" opposes the United Kingdom's decision to remove Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.'s equipment from its 5G network, APA reports citing Teletrader.
Downing Street said that the decision was made due to national security concerns, as well as to help UK telecoms networks and the country's economy.
Earlier today, Taiwanese Digital Minister Audrey Tang claimed that using Chinese equipment to build networking infrastructure would be like allowing a Trojan horse inside the system.
