<p>The security of the UK's critical national infrastructure is of utmost importance
to the Government. We continue to monitor potential security threats, including the
unique challenges posed by cellular internet-of-things (IoT) modules. The National
Protective Security Authority (NPSA) and The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
produce advice and guidance on the security implications of internet connected components,
which the Government follows where appropriate.</p><p>Existing legislation such as
the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 and Product Security and Telecommunications
Infrastructure Act (PSTI) 2022 are designed to address the emerging security threats
posed by IoT technologies. These include a range of measures that can be employed
even in an evolving threat landscape. Any action is only taken after a rigorous assessment.</p><p>The
UK's approach to China is to enhance our national security protections, align with
our partners, and to engage where it is in the UK's national interest.</p>
