A US House Intelligence Committee report claimed that spying and potential data theft could be done on behalf of the Chinese government through infrastructure based on the Chinese companies' equipment.

At the time of Huawei's investment announcement, prime minister David Cameron said: "The British Government values the important relationship with China, both countries have much to offer each other and the business environment we are creating in the UK allows us to maximise this potential."
