UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that those who oppose the involvement of Huawei in the UK new 5G networks need to suggest alternatives.
Johnson's comments came amid a continuing delay to the announcement about whether or not the UK will allow the Chinese company to play a role in developing parts of its 5G network.
The U.S. has been lobbying allies not to use Huawei over security concerns and has warned that it might hurt the intelligence sharing arrangements between the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - the so-called "five eyes" alliance.
The British public deserve to have access to the best possible technology, Johnson noted.
According to a report in The Guardian, U.S. officials told their UK counterparts in a meeting on Monday that it would be "nothing short of madness" to allow Huawei a role in the 5G network, saying it could be used for state spying.
In a BBC television interview on Tuesday, Johnson said: "If people oppose one brand or another then they have to tell us what is the alternative, right?"
5G is the next step in mobile communications, bringing vast data capacity and enabling the widespread adoption of futuristic technologies such as artificial intelligence and automated cars and factories.
The UK government expects to make a decision on 5G construction at the National Security Council meeting later this month. Johnson will face two choices: to completely exclude Huawei or to allow it to participate in the construction of non-core facilities such as antennas.
U.S. officials warned Monday night that the UK might see its "sovereignty under threat". They added that the UK's intelligence-sharing relationship with the U.S. could come to an end. U.S. President Donald Trump is said to be "concerned" about the prospect of the country after it adopting Huawei because he "doesn't want anything to come between" him and Boris Johnson.
Some UK officials are worried that a ban on using Huawei gear would delay 5G deployment and lead to larger costs - Huawei's kit is reported to be cheaper and more advanced than fellow 5G network firms Ericsson of Sweden and Nokia from Finland.
A delegation including U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger and officials from the State Department arrived in the UK on Monday, aiming to pose pressure to Johnson on Huawei issue.
