This Asian Telco Will Be Standing by Huawei — at Least for Now

Singapore’s M1 Ltd., now controlled by Keppel Corp. and Singapore Press Holdings Ltd., said Tuesday it’s open to keep on dealing with the Chinese company, while flagging there’ll be alternative providers as operators look to build out their 5G networks. Huawei Technologies, China’s largest technology company, was blacklisted by the U.S. earlier this month amid claims that the group aids Beijing’s espionage, with Trump’s move cutting it off from the U.S. software and components it needs to make products. The decision both escalated and complicated the trade war between Washington and Beijing, while forcing telecom operators around the world to decide whether they too would shun the company.
