Did Huawei just win a tech war?

The Chinese company nears world domination.

This week Huawei was given permission to build parts of the new 5G network in the UK. But, because Huawei is a Chinese company, there鈥檚 a lot of concern about it. What if China, which we know spies on its own people, uses Huawei to spy on us? The US has been urging us to reconsider, stressing that it needs to be sure that America鈥檚 allies have trusted information networks. Is it to do with the risk of espionage or is there something else going on?

We speak to Garrett Graff, a journalist and author who writes about national security for Wired Magazine. We also hear from Gordon Corera, the 麻豆社鈥檚 Security Correspondent, about the company and whether it really poses a threat to our safety.
