HONG KONG—Huawei Technologies Co. is using the U.K.’s decision allowing the Chinese company to build parts of its 5G networks to push Australia to rethink its ban, as the tech giant steps up efforts to sway U.S. intelligence allies from the Trump administration’s warnings. Australia took the lead in blocking Huawei from participating in its 5G network rollout in restrictions announced in 2018. Officials said then that vulnerabilities introduced in superfast 5G networks meant Huawei couldn’t be trusted to build those networks.
