LONDON—Britain can both remain a popular destination for foreign investment and stand up for its values, its business minister said on Tuesday, after Chinese ambassador warned that a dispute over tech firm Huawei could lead to many “consequences”.

Tensions have mounted between Britain and the Chinese Regime after London joined Washington in criticizing Beijing’s new national security law for the former British colony of Hong Kong and signaled it could reverse a decision to use Huawei kit in its 5G network.
