(Reuters) - New laws on foreign investment in the UK will block Chinese firm Huawei from sensitive UK tech projects, The Sun newspaper reported on Friday.

 

Many are concerned that allowing Huawei an inside track on the rollout of the 5G mobile network in the UK would let China spy on private lives and hack UK companies, The Sun said.

 

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson are among those concerned about the Chinese firm's reach, the report said.

Good poodle.

i think that we all have far more to worry about the spying of our daily online activities by GCHQ and the NSA than by China. This is a knee jerk reaction in response to an American request.

All developing countries will go for " 20% lower quality but 40% lower in price "

I pity the poor sod at GCHQ who gets the job of spying on my daily online activities. He won't have many stories to tell his grandkids.
