Is Huawei collateral damage in US-China war?

Huawei has been accused by the US Govt. of having links with Chinese Govt. and spying on American people. In the wake of this accuasation, Trump administration banned Huawei's product production in the country and put sanctions on it. following the lead, many companies ended their deals with Huawei. But is there an ulterior motive behind the ban? Is the US seeking supremacy of its own telecom industry? Has Apple got any part to play in it?

News Desk |

Relationship Between the US and Chinese telecom giant ‘Huawei’ has officially boiled over. The pressures have been mounting for almost a year a half, beginning with cell phone carriers dismantling out of arrangements to provide Huawei’s products and the situation escalated to a full-blown ban and the remarkable revocation of Huawei’s Android license.

All the while, US has sought the extradition of company’s CFO Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei, from Canada where she was arrested on fraud charges.

The primary source of the controversy, in any case, is the long-held conviction from legislators and the US Intelligence community that Huawei follows up for the benefit of the Chinese government, undermining US national security and posing cybersecurity and privacy risks for American and UK clients. With the legal status cut out of Google’s official Android licensing program, the organization’s future remains in a precarious situation, posing vulnerability about the eventual fate of Chinese organizations in the midst of President Donald Trump’s trade war and raising serious issues about Huawei’s job in the Windows and 5G ecosystems going forward.

[This a full interview of about 46 minutes. The Huawei part is about 41 min in]

[TRUMP: Huawei is something that’s very dangerous. You look at what they’ve done from a security standpoint, from a military standpoint, it’s very dangerous. So it’s possible that Huawei even would be included in some kind of a trade deal. If we made a deal, I could imagine Huawei being possibly included in some form, some part of a trade deal.

REPORTER: How would that look?

TRUMP: It would look very good for us.

REPORTER: But the Huawei part, how would you design that.

TRUMP: Oh it’s too early to say. We’re just very concerned about Huawei from a security standpoint]

US motives behind Huawei ban

The Trump administration temporarily eased up just a bit on its restrictions Monday. But the reprieve was narrow and aimed at a small group of rural American network providers that use Huawei equipment. For Huawei and most American companies, the ban remains firmly in place.

Amidst enraging China-US trade war it seems to be collateral damage. Trump imposed sanctions and banned all productions on US soil. Following the lead Panasonic and many technological giants severed ties with Huawei. China backed up its technological production company by calling US out on such rash actions but Trump administration seems set about the ban it imposed.

Others call it a dirty game in the telecom giants competition.

Huawei’s uprise

Chinese telecom giant has been raising the bar of competition higher every day and several telecom producers have been wary of the company’s rise. American company ‘Apple’ rule the cell phone market and have been the top-selling brand for a long time. Huawei’s entered the game late but have raised their standards high in little time. this upsurge posed serious threats to these ruling companies.

Huawei’s new addition ‘P-30’ changed the game and have been dubbed best phone far and wide. It is being compared with the latest iPhone and it trumps it in every regard.

“Huawei”, “Google” and “Apple” trended on Twitter on Monday morning, dominating the platform as users reacted to the news and what it could mean for the brand.
