Yeah? Did the professor teach how to design for a technology war?The first thing your professor tells you when you are a freshman in Engineering is never ever design more than the requirement. You can always build better product and you will always lose to your competitor.
ZTE was just doing what every companies in the world is doing. It is laser focused on building the best product against some of the smartest people in the world, against the best companies in the world.
What Huawei did is so un-natural. I sympathize with them. They being in the middle of a trade and technology war not of their own making. They are being asked of an un-achievable task by their own people, to go up against the greatest super power in the world.
That is not their job. It is their government's job.
Yes, what ZTE did was textbook, but it forgot that China is not a textbook country. It is the only country in history with the potential to overtake a superpower in the age of globalized technology. Huawei's unnatural way is needed; if anything, it needs to be more unnatural.
The Chinese government's job is to grow the economy, provide resources for these companies to thrive, and defend their legal rights internationally. China has done every one of those, but it is NOT the government's job to force hostile rival countries to sell their technology to ZTE. But even though it wasn't, it still did, and negotiated an end to the US ban on ZTE. So tell me exactly, what did you think the Chinese government should have done for ZTE in addition?
