Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Britain will develop plans to phase out telecommunications equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co.’s involvement in Britain’s 5G network in the wake of the CCP virus crisis, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.

Johnson has asked officials to make plans to reduce the Chinese company’s involvement in British infrastructure to zero by 2023, the newspaper reported late on May 22.
