Huawei is launching a newspaper and internet campaign to mark 20 years of business in the UK.
In an open letter to the public, the Chinese telecoms company says it is "as committed as ever" to provide "the best equipment" to the UK's 5G mobile and full-fibre broadband providers.
It comes amid a new security review that could lead the UK government to ban use of Huawei's 5G network kit.
The initiative follows a report in Saturday's Daily Telegraph, which said London-headquartered bank HSBC fears it could face reprisals in China, if the UK acts against Huawei.
@ecksmc I question Huawei intentions.The U.K must search for an alternative telecommunications company preferably in Europe.
@AkomoCombine really??

A document published by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) indicates that the UK's networks will have three years to comply with the caps on the use of Huawei's equipment.
"Huawei is reassured by the UK government's confirmation that we can continue working with our customers to keep the 5G rollout on track," the firm's UK chief Victor Zhang said in a statement.
@ecksmc Eriksson is is an option as well and its based in Sweden. A safer route until we know China's intentions.
@AkomoCombine i just don't buy all this hype
after all UK use Huawei in the infrastructure already and have done for donkeys years
no mention of anything until Trump took office right??
@AkomoCombine Experts say Britain’s change of attitude is partly due to concerns that refusing to cooperate with the U.S on Huawei will pose a threat to intelligence sharing and joint defense capabilities with its major ally.
