British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is preparing to grant Huawei access to the UK's future 5G telecom network. British media reports the UK is moving towards a decision that will see Huawei allowed access to the so-called "non-contentious" parts of the network. That's according to government and security services sources. This follows a U.S. ban on the tech giant, citing national security fears. A final decision could come before Christmas. So this is Britain's possible decision following the U.S. ban on the tech company. Why is the UK taking a different path? Professor John Gong from the University of International Business and Economics shares his insight.
