As the United States continues to wield bans and sanctions to lock Huawei out of the global 5G market and coerce its allies into doing the same, Huawei has seen its 5G business in several European markets sabotaged in recent months, despite the company's ongoing presence in parts of the continent.
Britain has decided to remove all Huawei equipment from its 5G networks by 2027. On Nov. 30, the British government said British telecommunications firms must not install new Huawei 5G kits after September 2021.
This decision "does not serve anyone's best interests as it would move Britain into the digital slow lane and put at risk the Government's levelling up agenda," said Huawei UK in a statement.
