Britain faces possible consequences if it treats China as a hostile country when deciding whether to allow Huawei to be involved in the country’s telecommunications networks.
This is according to the Chinese ambassador to Britain who addressed reporters on Monday.
He said, “We want to be your friend. We want to be your partner. But if you want to make China a hostile country, you will have to bear the consequences.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week he would proceed carefully on making a decision on Huawei because the government did not want any critical infrastructure to be controlled by “potentially hostile state vendors”.
