“The threat is legitimate, given the murky links between Huawei and Chinese authorities. The Chinese state has the authority to demand tech companies like Huawei turn over useful information or provide access to the communications and technologies owned and sold by Huawei. The risk becomes bigger with 5G because the way the networks are designed and run makes it harder to monitor security, according to the head of the UK's intelligence service MI6, However, many of the UK providers including EE, Vodafone and Three have been working with Huawei to build their 5G networks.
