1/6 Important, in my view, to underline what’s going on here: • USA has no major global stake in 5G • Get one: supress Huawei chip supply • This forces UK Gov to assess impact = UK policy is being dictated by Trump administration. European Parliament replaced by White House?pic.twitter.com/pVmTV2Hwxb
2/6 Given #US has consistently failed to provide evidence to back up endless spurious allegations - which clearly few, incl the U.K, were prepared to listen to - they’ve resorted to threatening to cut off Huawei’s supply chain...
FACT: This isn’t about security. It’s about $$$$
3/6 In January, Boris Johnson rightly approved the use of #Huawei equipment to help roll out 5G in the UK. He did so because having 3 major players in the market is better than 2:
• More secure 
• Competitive market
• Foster innovation
• Consumer benefits
5/6 Huawei’s been in the U.K. for 20 yrs. In that time, we’ve helped BT, Vodafone & others roll out 3G, 4G & broadband. Our equipment has already helped telecom providers drive the U.K. to become a 5G global leader. Restricting Huawei will do little to maintain that leadership
6/6 Shouldn’t the US respect a United Kingdom in the post-Brexit era being in a position to chose its own telecommunication strategy?
On #Huawei right now, the Trump administration wants to call the shots....
Are you sure it's not in response to Chinese sabre-rattling over Hong Kong? Maybe you should consider who exactly it is you're working for, and their effect on human rights.
If it is that then say so. You want to take a stand on human rights and principle that is great, but it only works if you *take a stand*. Not if you do it while pretending it is something else.
