I don't have a position, just want to compare the two side's arguments on who does what to whom, on both sides. China used the same national security argument on banning US social media.
Huawei discounted. The IEEE, a major international U.S.-based professional association that publishes academic papers on engineering, has excluded Huawei employees from participating in the peer-review process. Last month the U.S. placed Huawei on its "entities list," making it difficult for businesses to collaborate with the Chinese telecoms company. IEEE is attempting to not fall foul of the new regulations. The China Computer Federation has responded by cutting ties with the IEEE.WIRED Huawei subsidized. Huawei has received hundreds of millions of dollars in grants from the state, the AFP says. A Huawei spokesperson said the company does not receive "special government aid." Some of the subsidies Huawei receives come from national, government investment schemes; other perks include lower rental rates on land. A former assistant U.S. trade representative suggested the state pay-outs could still be significant enough for other nations to challenge at the WTO. Channel News Asia
Huawei Demand Demand for Huawei smartphones has "dropped off a cliff" in Europe, in one analyst's words. Consumers understandably fear that the devices will quickly become insecure or lose features, due to U.S. blacklisting of the Chinese telecommunications giant. All bad news for Huawei, which needs Europe and its relatively wealthy consumers to gain dominance of the global smartphone market—it's currently at No. 2, after Samsung. Bloomberg
https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/H...orders-to-key-suppliers-after-US-blacklisting HSINCHU, Taiwan/TAIPEI -- Huawei Technologies has reduced or canceled orders to top suppliers for components that go into its smartphones and telecom equipment following its U.S. blacklisting, sources familiar with the matter told the Nikkei Asian Review. The effect on the embattled Chinese company's supply chain, including cuts to orders of a much as 30%, is another possible sign that Washington's crackdown has started to hit the world's top telecom equipment provider and second-largest smartphone maker. A source familiar with Huawei smartphone orders told the Nikkei Asian Review that the company has downgraded its forecast for total smartphone shipments in the second half of 2019 by "about 20% to 30%" from the previous estimate following the U.S. move to put the tech giant on the so-called Entity List, which in effect bans American companies from working with Huawei and its affiliates. https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/H...group-puts-Huawei-on-trade-control-alert-list OKYO -- A Japanese organization has added Huawei Technologies to a database that lists groups of potential concern to exporters, a move that could make corporate Japan even more reluctant to deal with the Chinese telecom manufacturer, Nikkei learned Wednesday.
uawei Russia Huawei may be shunned in the West, but Russia and China are busy falling into each other's arms right now, and the telecoms giant just scored a contract to develop 5G networks for the Russian operator MTS. President Xi happens to be in Moscow right now for a state visit with his "best and bosom friend," President Putin. My enemy's enemy and all that. Meanwhile, China has also given Huawei a boost by granting local carriers 5G licenses. BBC
The GOP brands itself as the party of a "free and open markets". Trump being the flag bearer just used his executive power to punish a telecom competitor of the US under the guise of "national security".
Google and Huawei Google wants to be exempted from the Trump administration's ban on exports to Huawei, and it's using national security interests (one of the justifications for the ban itself) as the basis for its argument. The logic goes thusly: stop Huawei being able to use Google's version of Android, and Huawei will end up developing its own version of Android, which will be more easily hackable by the Chinese government among others.
