There is a practical problem for the short term.Long term actions are on the way I agree. But what is short term answer?
It all starts from President Trump's actions, which are very stupid.
There will be collateral damage, and at half will be on American companies.
So, this stupid move by Trump, cannot be taken seriously, as it has to be some sort of trick. If China makes a stupid move in response to America stupid move, then America changes track and does something smart, then China falls into a trap, and trapped itself because it fell for a stupid trick.
But, after 4 years, America was serious about it stupid tricks.
In the real world, stupid trick do not work.
After 4 years of Trump and 2 years of US government attacks against Huawei, the result is as follows:-
1. Huawei number #1 in the world in cell phone sales.
2. Hauwei is still leader in telecomuncations equipment.
3. China right on schedule with completion of stand alone 5G networks, built by Huawei gear.
You know what? I really do not know what is an appropriate short term counter move.
Not only has China's objectives have been met, but Huawei's objectives probably has been exceeded.
What is appropriate counter by CCP in this case?
That is a hard question to answer, but a minor one.
We can count on the Liberal media to tell us of the imminent demise of Huawei, at least we have certainty there.
