it is just the latestrack for huawei.china will now be deciding how to respond what are the options available to beijing? >>hi no doubt,move will not go down well in beijing. they have denied any direct ties with huawei, at the same time actively advocmping for the y. earlier today, the chinese bassador to the u.k. hinted that the u.k. ban on huawei will lead to questions about whether the u.k. c provide open, fair, and nondiscminatory business environmentsni for com from other countries. beijing may consider rirecting chinese investment to other countries, at the same time, imposing restrictions and sanctions on u.k. businesse operating in china, in order to discourage other countrieso follow the u.k. lead. isill render beijing as a bully in the world, so there is trade-off on the beijin side. based on the recent trackngecord of bei china may likely go for the first option, stand very strongly with huawei. ros: thank you very much as ever from washington. if you are listeningo all of this geopolitical and technical analy

let's t more on huawei.m joined by congresswoman abigail spanberg from virginia, a former cia case officer and she serves on te horeign affairs committee. thanks for joining the program. do you think huawei is a proxy for the chinese government and the chinese military? i think the important point is that huaweihi and anyse company has the potential for being linked to chinese military and chin we know that is a link that exists with huawei. the concern i have with t huawei fact that data and privacy is now subject to a different standard. it is subject to potential engagement or usage by the chinese government because of the use of huawei technology, and it presents a significant threat to our telecommunications networks. katy:es the united st put considerable pressure on the u. to ban huawei from its 5g network. d whage would it have done to america if the u.k. had allowed some components of huawei's technology into its 5g network? what was the problem for t t united staten? rep. spanberger: notably, and w

for its part, huawei says says it's a "disappointing decision" and "bad certainly bad news for huaweigoes on to say this.. well the news was announced earlier by the uk culture minister oliver dowden. the facts have changed, so has our approach. that's why we've taken this decision that there can be no new huawei equipment from the end of this year and set out a clear timetable to exclude huawei com pletely timetable to exclude huawei completely by 2027 within your reversible path implemented by the time of the next election. here's the analysis of tom newton dunn from times radio. "the biggest takeaway of today's decision? hard to get away from the cold fact that britain has become a victim of a colossal us/china fight. we'll now get 56 two years later, at a cost of £2 billion more." he points out there could also be delays to full fibre broadband. and to tom's point, this decision will go down well in washington — it's been urging the uk to take this decision. the trump administration claims that huawei provides a gateway for china to spy on and potentially attack countries that use

because that is the charge, huawei assists they are simplya charge, huawei assists they are simply ae chinese government doesn't like. —— huawei. how much security do you have? how can you know under any assurance from the chinese, his party will be realised? we seen from hong kong that major clinical commitments made by the chinese government can be invalidated in moments. ijust think it's not realistic for us to think of these big chinese state champion companies as companies like an american company or a british or european company. they are playing bya european company. they are playing by a different set of rules and we need to treat them as such. joining me now is the chief executive of the china—britain business council, matthew roose. the council published a report today on china's impact on ukjobs. welcome to the programme. first of all, your basic reaction to today's decision? it's very disappointing for our members, because it is difficult to see how this decision makes sense when compared to the very different steps ta ken makes sense when compared to the very different s

so huawei says this is all about us trade deals. know washington has been urging the uk to take this decision. the trump administration claims huawei provides a gateway for china to spy on and potentially attack countries that use its equipment. the us has also imposed sanctions designed to disrupt huawei's ability to get its own chips manufactured. here's oliver dowden again on that. the new us measures restrict huawei ability to import us products using us technology or software. given the uncertainty that this creates around huawei supply chain, the uk can no longer be confident it will be able to guarantee the security of future huawei 5g equipment affected by the change in us foreign direct product rules. and here's the analysis of tom newton dunn from times radio "the biggest takeaway of today's decision? hard to get away from the cold fact that britain has become a victim of a colossal us—china fight. we'll now get 5g two years later, at a cost of £2 billion more." to help us understand all of this, here's karishma vaswani —

because it's notjust huawei. china is germany's biggest trading partner.ver the last year, mounting concern in europe over chinese human rights violations, in the uighurs and then hong kong. so i think there is a lot of debate and discussions going on in europe right now. and it's under pressure from both sides. celia, you pay close attention from the chinese perspective on this. one thing that struck me was on hong kong, a lot of european countries did not criticise the chinese national security legislation in hong kong. now, how do you think they're going to line up on huawei, the ones who sided i suppose with beijing, or did not want to criticise at that point? well, there's a real spectrum, carrie. on one end of the spectrum, we have the countries who have said we have been dealing with huawei for decades, we don't see a problem. spain, sweden, hungary all fell in that category. 0n the other end of the spectrum we have countries that have signed a pledge with washington not to use huawei. romania, poland. then of course we have the countries that are w

let us get more on that story about huawei.oviders have been banned from buying any huawei equipment and there was also have it out of their networks by 2027. we a reaction from huawei. they say this is bad news for anyone in the uk with a mobile phone. it would push britain into the additional slow lane, pushing up bills, and they are levelling down instead of levelling up levelling down instead of levelling up and the urge the government to reconsider. there remain confident that the us restrictions would not affect the products in the uk but there are in the uk has been politicised. this is about us trade policy are not security. we will conduct a detailed review and will work with uk government to explain how we can continue to contribute to a better connected britain. and from nokia, they state they have the capacity and expertise to replace all of the huawei equipment at scale and speed and are ready to step up and speed and are ready to step up and support the implementation of the uk government is my decision. similarly

huawei says the decision will push britain into the digital slow lane.y the time of the next election, we will have implemented, in law, an irreversible path for the complete removal of huawei equipment from our 5g networks. we think it's bad news for the people of the uk. we think it's bad news if you use a smartphone or you use the internet, because 56 is the next technology for mobile connectivity. we'll be asking what today's decision means. also tonight... fewer green shoots than expected for the uk's economy in may as restrictions eased — and warnings that it may not recover from the pandemic until 202a. making shops safer — face coverings will become mandatory in ten days‘ time in england. if you don't wear one, you could be fined. ajudge in new york is deciding whether to grant bail to ghislaine maxwell, the former girlfriend ofjeffrey epstein. she's charged with sex trafficking. it's like a game of hide and seek, in the woods. the duchess of cambridge on the importance of better support for parents of pre—school children. and coming up on bbc ne

how is huawei doing in other parts of the world ? can huawei doing in other parts of the world?asia? it is doing very well in other countries, especially ethical. huawei has gotten in very early with a lot of ag, 3g networks in africa, and so it is merely trying to make sure that even if europe or many european countries decided to go away from huawei that it isa decided to go away from huawei that it is a really firmly rooted in africa. we can look at the belton road. as you mentioned, the great project to build new trade routes around the world, and if you look at the countries where the chinese government have focused on building road projects, a lot of those countries are also going to go along with huawei equipment. give us your sense of the global options, countries on the one hand who are turning into a dem at as for some countries, and difficult choices. how do you see it shaping up? —— them and us. it is difficult, but we have to find a way to work with china, especially on the crucial issue of climate change. unless china is on board and has good relations with the res

the government seem to have made the decision to allow huawei to build the sg decision to allow huaweihe end of it. the decision had to be reopened because of pressure from washington and also conservative mps who have wanted a tougher line on china as well as huawei partly because of hong kong and they want huawei to be excluded entirely from sg huawei to be excluded entirely from 56 and for it to happen quickly. what we had today was the other side of the argument, the telecoms companies are saying if you want that, there will be consequences, and a bt executive told a parliamentary committee it was impossible to get huawei to get zero ina impossible to get huawei to get zero in a three year period and he said there would be blackouts including of 4g coverage as well as the slowdown of 56 rolled out if that happened. another industry person told me trying to replace huawei would be like trying to do heart surgery would be like trying to do heart surgery in the middle of a marathon race. but we should see all of this is part of an intense lobbying campaign ahead of a decision by gover

i expect germany to push out huawei as they make the big decision.uropean government will give, certainly push huawei out of the door. so this is a huge game-changer. could be the beginning of the end for huawei's operations in europe. hugely damaging of course to huawei and to its chinese communist party overlords. certainly in the chinese government is already making threats against britain, against any european country that dares to kick out huawei. i think we have to take these threats very seriously. for example, the chinese could launch cyberattacks against the uk. so we have to be on our guard but we cannot allow ourselves to be bullied or intimidated by the chinese communist government in beijing. this is a big defeat for beijing. they will suffer a lot more defeats in the coming months across europe. connell: big win for the trump administration as well especially secretary of state mike pompeo. nile gardiner, thank you. melissa, we'll hear more about china we think in a few minutes? melissa: absolutely. we are waiting remarks from president

next let's talk about huawei.e tech giant, and yesterday the uk exclude it from all parts of its 56 mobile networks because of security concerns. china says the ban is "groundless". here's the chinese ambassador to the uk. i think the trust is serious damage between the government level and among the businesses. and note the tone of this from the chinese foreign ministry. translation: in the end, this is a big world and the united kingdom is only a small pa rt of the united kingdom is only a small part of it. ultimately, this ban will not stop huawei from prospering. the uk had come under severe pressure from washington — not least because us sanctions will make it harder for huawei to manufacture its own microchips — a fact which exacerbated the uk's security concerns. and there's more. here's mike pompeo again. the united states has a huawei announcement of oui’ own the united states has a huawei announcement of our own today. the state department will impose visa restrictions on certain employees of the chinese

a lot of unhappiness from the decision —— huawei and china. unhappiness from the decision -- huaweither countries will follow the uk in terms of edging away from huawei and looking at other countries to provide 5g infrastructure? there are other countries we we re there are other countries we were looking out to get advice. canada is looking at this issue. germany could also make a decision about this, but not before the soup member —— before the soup member —— before september. australia and new zealand army corps worked closely with the us on security issues, those countries have already in 2018 made the decision to exclude huawei from its networks. all right, alanna petroff, thank you very much for your analysis. in over 20 minutes, we will be going to oui’ minutes, we will be going to our asia business up in singapore to talk about the implications of the us cutting its preferential trade status for hong kong —— asia business hub. we will talk about that later on. the united states is experiencing record spikes in coronavirus cases as a second wave of infections sweeps the count

ultimately, this ban won't stop huawei from prospering.hina will fully and seriously evaluate this incident and take all necessary measures to protect the proper legitimate rights of chinese companies. the downward spiral in relations between the us and china was underlined today, with america imposing visa restrictions on the huawei employees entering the us. make no mistake — washington is on a mission. the ukjoins the united states and now many other democracies in becoming clean countries — nations free of untrusted 56 vendors. britain has made its move under pressure from america. china is considering retaliation. these things can very quickly escalate. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, has announced he'll be in london next week, with china the central topic. america's concerns are on coronavirus primarily, but also hong kong, huawei, trade, human rights abuses and perceived aggression by china in the south china sea. the list of grievances is long, and seemingly getting longer. jon sopel, bbc news. the senior conservative mp ju
