梅姨允许华为建造部分5g网络
British Prime Minister Theresa May has given the green light to Huawei, a Chinese telecom giant, to help build Britain's new 5G network, a major British newspaper reported Tuesday night.
英国一家大型报社周二晚间报道，首相特雷莎·梅对华为帮助打造5G网络开了绿灯。
The prime minister made the decision "despite warnings from the U.S. and some of her most senior ministers that it poses a risk to national security," the Daily Telegraph reported on its website.
The British National Security Council, which is chaired by the prime minister, agreed on Tuesday to allow Huawei limited access to help build parts of the network such as antennas and other "noncore" infrastructure, said the newspaper.
Huawei has signed 40 contracts to build and operate the fifth-generation (5G) telecommunication infrastructure by April 15, preparing for the commercial launch of the new technology, the Chinese tech giant said last week.
Ken Hu, deputy chairman of the company, made the announcement in a keynote speech at its 2019 Global Analyst Summit at its headquarter in Shenzhen in southern China.
It is expected to take 5G three years (2019-2022) to hit the milestone of 500 million users in the world, said Hu.
