The British Conservative government announced the conditional and restricted release of Chinese telecommunications equipment

The British Conservative government announced the conditional and restricted release of Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei's 5G network equipment.

As a major U.S. ally and an important member of the Western camp, how big a wave will this stone stir up worldwide? After all, the United States regards Huawei as a "significant security threat” and not only bans itself, but also tries to persuade its allies to resist together.

The British decision was made after a long period of incubation, and it still runs counter to American suggestions and pressure.

Some industry observers believe that the UK's green light is beneficial from the perspective of the full popularity of next-generation mobile data services.

Let's see how the ripples caused by this British decision will spread around the world?

Anglo-American Triangle Relations

First, the decision was seen as a heavy blow to British-American relations.

Washington has lobbied for months, and Downing Street has finally taken its own course and parted ways with its closest allies. A senior official of the US President Trump administration stated that the United States was "disappointed" by this.

Democrats and Republicans have tweeted to express anger and hatred.

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego said the special Anglo-American relationship must now be reassessed and reconsidered. “This stingy behavior will hurt our intelligence-sharing capabilities," he wrote on Twitter.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham put it more directly: "This decision could endanger the U.S.-British intelligence-sharing agreement and complicate the U.S.-British free trade agreement. I hope the British government will reconsider its decision.

Conversely, allowing one of China's most important and valuable companies to land in Britain is undoubtedly an endorsement that makes Beijing happy.

Chinese diplomats have warned that if Huawei is completely blocked and banned, it will lead to "substantial" impact on other trade and investment plans.

Will other countries follow suit?

Sources close to Huawei believe that the UK decision may have a beneficial effect on other markets that are considering including Huawei in the 5G start-up plan.

The United States, Australia and Japan have decided to ban their equipment from using Huawei equipment in their 5G telecommunications networks, but many countries have not yet decided.

It is estimated that the impact of the hammer on the members of the "Five Eyes Alliance" intelligence sharing group was immediate: the United States and Australia have banned Huawei, and New Zealand and Canada are expected to follow in the footsteps of Britain.

The debate that has sparked this has been taking place in EU countries. Operators in the European telecommunications' industry are Huawei customers, and the European Union has been pushing against a complete ban on Huawei.

The EU will soon issue a unified response framework for risk issues in telecommunications networks, but will not ban specific companies.

It is reported that German Chancellor Angela Merkel disagreed with many of the party's bigwigs over whether to remove Huawei from Germany's existing communications network. The British decision should give her a boost.

Huawei has cultivated in Africa for many years, and 5G networks in many countries have been built and tested with Huawei equipment.

South Africa is the first and so far the only country in Africa to launch a commercial service for 5G networks. The local mobile data network operator that provides this service, Rain, uses Huawei products.

There are still some countries that are trying Huawei technology, including India, but there is still a long way to go before it can be fully popularized.

These countries will undoubtedly study the UK's analysis, especially the documents issued by the National Cyber   Security Center. These will become the basis for their decision.

South America is also a market that Huawei is working hard to develop. It encountered few resistances or restrictions in several major markets, including Brazil.

Part of Britain's recognition and adoption of Huawei has obviously helped its expansion in the South American market.
