LONDON - British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has urged caution over the role of China's Huawei in the UK, saying the government should think carefully before opening its doors to the technology giant to develop next-generation 5G mobile networks.
"We are right to have a degree of caution about the role of large Chinese companies because of the degree of control the Chinese state is able to exercise over them in the way that would not be possible if they were large Western companies," Mr Hunt told Monday's Daily Telegraph newspaper. China's ambassador to the UK, Mr Liu Xiaoming, told the Sunday Telegraph that security concerns were"understandable" but he urged the UK to make"the right decision independently based on its national interests".
