Britain to remove Chinese surveillance gear from government sites

Equipment that could be exploited by Chinese intelligence will be taken down, with CCTV brands Hikvision and Dahua among those flagged by MPs

Britain has announced the removal of Chinese-made surveillance equipment from sensitive government sites as part of plans to address concerns they could be used for spying by China.

The government told its departments last year to stop installing Chinese-linked CCTV cameras in sensitive buildings.
