LONDON -- Ahead of a U.K. government decision on whether to further restrict the use of Huawei Technologies equipment in the country's 5G infrastructure, a former deputy in Britain's secret service said it would be difficult to lock the Chinese tech giant out of the system.
Parliament is expected to announce as early as Tuesday a U-turn on its Huawei policy, having agreed in January to allow the company -- categorized as a "high risk vendor" in Britain -- a limited role in building the network. That decision came despite U.S. pressure to completely exclude Huawei.
