LONDON—Security experts have warned that the UK’s reliance on communications equipment made by Chinese company Huawei is too risky, especially as the country prepares to introduce ultra-speed 5G networks.

“Allowing Huawei’s participation is at best naive, at worst irresponsible,” said a report by the Royal United Services Institute think tank, adding that the UK represents a key target for the Chinese communist regime.
