Britain will allow Huawei Technologies a restricted role in building parts of its 5G network, seeking a middle way in a bitter dispute between the United States and China over the next generation of communications technology.
Huawei, the world's biggest producer of telecommunications equipment, is under intense scrutiny after the US told allies not to use its technology because of fears it could be a vehicle for Chinese spying. Huawei has categorically denied this.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that Britain's National Security Council, chaired by Prime Minister Theresa May, has agreed to allow Huawei access to non-core parts of 5G mobile infrastructure like antennas, despite concerns among ministers.
