周六，华为副总裁维克托·张(Victor Zhang)对新出现的报道表示困惑，这些报道披露了英国计划限制该公司在英国5G网络中的国内影响力。
据报道，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊(Boris Johnson)已下令英国官员起草计划，减少华为在英国5G网络中的存在。与此同时，保守派政客对中国应对冠状病毒大流行的做法越来越反感。
张在一份声明中说，此举“根本没有意义”。“作为一家在英国运营了20年、100%由员工拥有的私营公司，我们的首要任务是帮助移动和宽带公司保持英国的互联互通，这在当前的健康危机中比以往任何时候都更加重要。这是我们行之有效的记录。”

这一举动意味着约翰逊退出了之前的位置。今年1月，这位英国领导人宣布，他将允许华为建设该国多达35%的5G网络。此外，约翰逊正准备参加下月在美国举行的今年G7峰会。
英国议会中的保守派政治家谴责了北京方面对COVID-19的处理——部分归咎于该国对全球爆发疫情的早期反应缺乏透明度——并呼吁限制中国的投资。
为了结束英国对中国制造的关键冠状病毒设备的依赖，英国高级部长们最近推出了“保卫计划”，旨在提高国内在开发药物和技术方面的充足性。
自2019年以来一直担任保守党领袖的约翰逊，预计也将很快与美国展开进一步的贸易谈判。美国政界人士公开批评英国最初允许华为进入其市场的决定，并坚称此举可能危及国家安全。
今年1月，在情报官员的支持下，当约翰逊允许华为进入他们的5G网络时，他当时坚称，与使用公司设备相关的安全风险可以得到抑制。现在看来他已经改变主意了。
最近几天，北京和伦敦之间的紧张关系进一步升级。此前，中国大陆以一项新的安全法威胁香港，禁止在这个半自治地区进行叛国、煽动叛乱和分裂活动。

Huawei VP Responds to Reports Britain Plans to Reduce Company's Role in 5G Network: It 'Don't Make Sense'
Huawei Vice President Victor Zhang expressed confusion on Saturday over emerging reports that reveal Britain's plans to limit the company's domestic influence in the U.K.'s 5G networks.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reportedly ordered U.K. officials to draft up plans to reduce Huawei's presence in the country's 5G networks, amid growing backlash from conservative politicians against China over their handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The move "simply don't make sense," Zhang said in a statement. "As a private company, 100% owned by employees, which has operated in the U.K. for 20 years, our priority has been to help mobile and broadband companies keep Britain connected, which in this current health crisis has been more vital than ever. This is our proven track-record."
Johnson's plans to limit the Chinese tech giant's influence in Britain's 5G network to zero by the year 2023 was reported by The Guardian and Telegraph on Saturday local time.

The move signifies a withdrawal from Johnson' previous position. In January, the British leader announced that he would permit Huawei to build up to 35 percent of the country's 5G network. It also comes as Johnson prepares to attend this year's G7 summit in America next month.
Conservative politicians in Britain's parliament have condemned Beijing's handling of COVID-19—partly blaming the country's lack of transparency surrounding its early response for the worldwide outbreak—and have called for limits to be placed on Chinese investments.
Seeking to end Britain's dependence on China-made essential coronavirus equipment, senior U.K. ministers recently introduced "Project Defend," which intends to boost domestic sufficiency in developing medicines and technologies.
Johnson, who has served as leader of the Conservative Party since 2019, is also expected to engage the U.S. in further trade negotiations soon. American politicians have been publicly critical of Britain's initial decision to allow Huawei into their markets and have asserted that the move could put the nation's security at risk.
When Johnson—with the support of intelligence officials—allowed Huawei into their 5G networks in January, he maintained at the time that the security risks associated with using the company's equipment could be subdued. It appears now he has changed his mind.
Tensions between Beijing and London have risen even further in recent days after the mainland threatened Hong Kong with a new security law that would ban treason, sedition and secession in the semi-autonomous region.
10 Downing Street declined Newsweek's request for comment. A Huawei representative was also contacted about this story, which will be updated with any response.
