Everyone Loses on Huawei
The Uk government has introduced a new policy on Huawei equipment in its telecom network on January 28, 2020. And everyone was lost on it. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has given his own administration a black eye because they are against lots of Chinese companies.
President Trump and US officials want Britain and other allies to ban Huawei equipment on security grounds because the US believes that Huawei’s poorly understood relationship to China’s Communist Party government is something that may threaten their countries’ security.
Under the influence of the US, Britain’s National Cyber Security Center starts to question whether Huawei equipment threat to security. The UK allowed HUAWEI’s components in noncore functions but they set restrictions around sensitive sites and also a cap of 35% on Chinese equipment in the network.
The Uk thinks a comprehensive trade agreement with the US and continued deep security cooperation are more important to the UK. However, Mr. Johnson maybe worry about offending Beijing since Britain’s trade with China is still very important to the UK after Brexit. There is a doubt about the UK's action. If the UK's government really thinks Huawei threatens national security why they still allow Chinese equipment used in telecom networks.
The most important reason why the UK worries about it is that they are afraid that excluding Huawei will slow the development of the UK's internet. This is a common concern in Europe. Because of the very high cost, Europe did not develop its internet technology, which the internet is very slow than China and the US. Huawei's 5G technology is the best hope to achieve connection speeds and service other countries' internet technologies.
The reason that the US has tried to ally forces against Chinese overseas companies is because of the Us-china trade war. The US considers China to be the leading cause of its trade deficit. However, the US trade deficit is a perennial, not a year or two, and America's trade deficit is not just with China but with everyone. Therefore, the trade war is caused by trade imbalance, not by China alone. A strategy that slows the growth of the global Internet is not a good solution to a trade war between China and the United States. How do you think the trade war heats for global economy and technology development？
