Britain will bar new deployments of Huawei equipment in its fledgling high-speed 5G network, which is expected to be announced on July 14 and take full effect in January.

The British decision is part of a growing shift away from China in the global 5G competition, according to washingtonpost.

Britain will also announce it will phase out over several years the small amount of Huawei 5G equipment installed in recent months, officials familiar with the matter said on the condition of anonymity.

Reuters on July 13 also said Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to ban Huawei from Britain's 5G network in a landmark decision that will anger Beijing but win plaudits from President Donald Trump as the United States grapples with China's rising economic and technological clout.

Huawei sees sharp growth slowdown

Huawei reported a sharp slowdown in revenue growth on July 13, ahead of Britain's expected decision to ban the company from its 5G telecom networks - a move likely to add momentum to a U.S. campaign against it and threatening its global prospects, said USNews.

Huawei, which prior to the coronavirus pandemic had already forecast a "difficult" 2020, said revenue rose 13.1 percent to 454 billion yuan (USD 64.90 billion) in the first half of the year. The growth rate was down from 23.2 percent in the first half 2019. Net profit margins were 9.2 percent, up from 8.7 percent in the first half 2019.

Huawei did not publish data on how many smartphones it had shipped during the period, as it has in the past. Research firm IDC reported Huawei was the second-largest phone maker in the first quarter of 2020, with a 17.8 percent market share, behind Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and ahead of Apple Inc.

American officials placed Huawei on a blacklist in May of last year, restricting sales of US-made goods such as semiconductors and blocking Huawei from using Google's smartphone services. /.
