Chinese ambassador: UK ban on Huawei would damage trust

Liu Xiaoming also defends Beijing's stance on Hong Kong, warning UK not to interfere in China's affairs

China's ambassador to the UK has said a ban on the Chinese tech company Huawei from playing a role in developing the UK's 5G network would damage Chinese trust in the UK and its belief that the UK can run a foreign policy independent of the US.

Speaking at a virtual press briefing in London, Liu Xiaoming warned Boris Johnson you cannot have a golden era if you treat China as an enemy".
