What an utter crock.....
Ok, if the route the UK commission wishes to take is "ban HikVision because of the application one of its major customers (the Chinese Government) uses their products for".
Then the next logical step is ban everything made in the UK because we sell weapons and weapons systems to anyone with the money and the rigtht old boys club connections.
How many such products used for "nefariouos activities" by foreign governments contain ARM technology? BAN ARM!
Utterly childish attitude and pure political posturing to be seen to be doing something when the reality is UK commission can do SFA.
It's the old "what does the killing? - the hammer or the killer weilding it instead of using it to build something?"
