<p>Last year, the Government carried out a comprehensive, evidence-based, review of
the telecoms supply chain, supported by security analysis from our world-leading cybersecurity
experts. This led to our decision, announced on 28 January, that high risk vendors
should be excluded from those parts of the 5G and full fibre networks that are critical
to security (“the core”), and their presence in the rest of the UK’s networks should
be limited to 35 per cent, with further restrictions in sensitive geographic locations.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>In making this decision, the Government took into account the full
range of issues and risks. This included consideration of the fact that Huawei is
a Chinese company that is subject to China’s national intelligence law. The controls
we have set out on high risk vendors constitute some of the toughest security measures
in the telecoms sector in the world.</p><p> </p>
