Buying Fujitsu 5G equipment is another great opportunity for the UK and Japan, and to get rid of Huawei and its Chinese baggage. Technology between Japan and the UK has always been world leading, it's about time we formalised everything and had commitment from both sides like we do for their car industry over here.

Isn't the fifth largest economy attractive enough after brexit?
So why are making links to mitsubishi moving out of Europe?
Thats nothing to do with Brexit. It says clearly in your article that is about demand.
