Yeah ... but ... that don't explain the rise Huawei to be number #1 in the telecom equipment field in the world.
Still there, still advancing.
Huawei R&D budget is quite more that both Nokia and Ericcson combined.
Plus they own the foundational technologies for 5G, Huawei own those patents.
The politicians and the CIA can plan, but no one can plan for disruption in tech. That is how tech is. Tech is weird.
Who thought a Chinese company would be the fastest growing number #1 downloaded social app.
President Trump was freaked out by TikTok, he went into full fascist mode.
The Chinese were gonna be cooler that him, so President Trump freaked out.
