Huawei pledges $2bn in effort to allay UK security concerns

The Chinese telecoms firm's promised investment follows the arrest of CFO in Canada

The Chinese telecoms giant Huawei is to spend $2bn (1.5bn) in an effort to alleviate British security services' concerns about vulnerabilities in its products, capping a torrid week for the firm.

In July, a British government centre established to verify the integrity of Huawei's technology warned that it had security concerns about the company's technology and could only provide "limited assurance" that risks to national security had been mitigated.
