China says it will act to protect its interests after UK Huawei ban
15 Jul 2020 / 15:36 H.
BEIJING, July 15 (Reuters) - China said on Wednesday it will take all necessary measures to safeguard its interests following Britain's decision to purge all Huawei Technologies Co Ltd equipment from its 5G network by the end of 2027.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters that China strongly opposes Britain's decision and said the decision was driven by the politicization of commercial and technological issues and not by national security.
