(Reuters) - China's Huawei Technologies has requested a meeting with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to work out a deal to delay its potential removal from the country's 5G phone network, the Sunday Times newspaper reported on Sunday.

The Chinese telecoms equipment maker is seeking to delay its removal from the from the country's 5G telecoms networks until after elections in June 2025, in the expectation that the new government may reverse the decision, the newspaper reported. https://

Huawei will in return pledge to maintain its equipment in the UK, which is also used in the 2G, 3G and 4G networks, the report added.

Britain granted Huawei a limited role in its future 5G networks in January, but ministers have since said the introduction of U.S. sanctions on the company means it may no longer be a reliable supplier.

Johnson has faced intense pressure from the United States and some British lawmakers to ban the telecommunications equipment maker on security grounds.

China's ambassador to London, Liu Xiaoming, warned last week that getting rid of Huawei would send a "very bad message" to Chinese business.

A government update on the Chinese company is expected to be published before July 22, according to a government minister and official.

Yeah
How do you lose something that you don't have? If Huawei did stole US technologies, why are there no patent suits? Guys, use your common sense to think. Politics getting into business is just bad for everyone. Bad for UK, bad for Huawei, bad for consumers. Only Trump is happy.
You dont understand patent litigation or how difficult patent enforcement can be.
Boy you can't trust those Chinese. Delay? So they can pull a fast one.
Huawei stole Motorola’s Wireless and Cisco Routing Technologies. Put those 2 together, u have wireless telco routers.
Oh yah, who stole Steve jobs conouter idea? Why no one says Bill Gates stole motorola’s computer software to make his DOS? Huawei is an onnocent commetcial entity and not beholden to China. Do not waste your life in believing Trump.

routing protocols like bgp4 is an open standard. you don't need trade secret to route traffic. ****** all you need is a Unix box to do it. all Cisco did was moved the routing from software to asic chip based which made it relatively faster than software... son, you don't know jack..
It's like those infamous hacking scenes in the movies. " Wait! give me 60 more seconds to download everything!"
