The politicians in the US thought they won because they had disrupted Huaiwei's mobile phone business. However, the industrial application of 5G technologies is far more important.
That I do not believe. They are wittingly or unwittingly spreading anti-Huawei propaganda, because the US government is still at war with Huawei 5G. Seems to me that is just the American playbook of war, which is always demonize the enemy, and make it look like you're winning. That is the propaganda.
That is rather unusual in this case, to keep harping on the phones.
It's only the phones. China probably still produces 70%-80% of the world's cell phones. But since Huawei is not selling much phones, that is a big win!
Somehow, I do not believe the Americans actually believe anything they say, pertaining to Huawei 5G and the tech war. That propaganda is just America at war, and that is the play from the playbook.
The coach, or deep state, calls the plays, and if someone does not follow the play called, they get benched.
That is kind of like American culture. Even behind a few touchdowns, it is always still in the huddle, one play at a time. The propaganda against Huawei will continue until the game is over.
