Huawei faces various sanctions from the United States, especially the US administration on its 5G network, but it looks like the Chinese company is going to have a big breakthrough in this regard.
In fact, on January 28, the close allies of the United States are likely to approve Huawei’s role in the formation of 5G telecom networks, which will be a huge success for the Chinese company.
According to AFP, Britain is likely to be given a limited role for the formation of 5G networks, despite opposition from the US on security grounds.
On Sunday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a tweet that ‘the most important decision on Britain’s futures is going to happen’.

Washington continues to pressure British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to completely unilateral Huawei.
But according to AFP, a top British official had indicated to give Huawei a green light last week, while the Financial Times reported yesterday that Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to approve Huawei’s limited role.
According to the reports, British ministers are considering ways to limit Huawei’s market share in the project. Huawei is believed to be allowing Britain to operate non-critical elements of 5G networks such as antennas and base stations.
The US had stopped Huawei from introducing 5G networks on its territory and raised security concerns over the Chinese government controlling the company, Which Huawei constantly denied.

The US government believes that the Huawei infrastructure will provide opportunities for the Chinese government to carry out espionage and destruction and that is why the use of Huawei telecom equipment has been banned in the US since 2012.
Australia and New Zealand have also banned the supply of Huawei’s 5G mobile network devices.
The United States also emphasized Britain but also threatened that if it signed a deal with Huawei, the sharing of intelligence between the two countries could be limited.
British officials have pointed out that unlike the United States, the UK has been using Huawei technology for the past 15 years.UK security agencies believe they have been able to control the risk so far and are able to do so in relation to the 5G network.
5G technology has been introduced in several countries so far, which is being considered an important advance for future technologies like automated driving vehicles and others.
