THE Irish unit of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei has insisted that the global debate over its 5G technology will not hurt its business here. Huawei has been branded a national security threat by the United States, while the Chinese company has denied there is any evidence that its network equipment could be used for spying. "At the end of 2018, reported security concerns spread across international media regarding the network technology related to Huawei's 5G technology," the directors of its Irish unit said in the division's latest set of accounts, which have just been filed with the Companies Registration Office. They added: "Until now, allegations have not been substantiated by evidence and Huawei has sought to assure governments and customers that network security is its absolute priority."
