Huawei is allowed to participate in the construction of the UK's 5G network

The US, which itself blacklisted Huawei, would have rather seen the UK opt out of the tech giant.

But on Tuesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson decided that Huawei's technology should continue to be allowed in the expansion of the 5G network, though to a lesser extent to try to appease the United States.

However, Huawei will be completely excluded from the network's more sensitive parts, including military bases and nuclear power, the BBC writes.

Without mentioning Huawei, the UK has decided to introduce a 35 per cent cap on the network for high-risk providers.

British mobile operators have been using equipment from the company before, and there was a concern that the country would fall behind if forced to turn to one of Huawei's competitors instead.

That there is a concern about the technology that Huawei provides has to do with alleged security risks surrounding China being able to gain access and steal valuable information.

The European Commission has also discussed Huawei and announced on Tuesday that member states will not be prohibited from cooperating with the company. But tough rules and tough conditions are promised.

- It's not about discrimination. It's about setting rules. They will be strict. They will be demanding, but of course we in the EU will welcome all operators who are willing to accept them, says Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton.

The Commission will present its recommendations on the 5G page on Wednesday.

According to the leaked parts in advance, it is expected, among other things, to suggest that member states avoid relying on only one company, and that frameworks are set up to control access to sensitive parts of the infrastructure.
