Huawei ... believes it has been swept up in a trade war designed to
prevent Chinese companies from succeeding in the global marketplace. In
a statement following the most recent round of US sanctions, the company
said Washington's "pernicious" and "arbitrary" rules threatened to
undermine the global semiconductor industry and undermine trust in
international companies.
"This is not about security, this is about trade," said Huawei's UK
communications director, Ed Brewster, speaking on the BBC's flagship
current affairs show Newsnight last week after the country announced its
5G ban. "This is a US campaign focused on attacking our business and
attacking our technology, and that's because the US is behind in terms
of the technology."
Huawei is one of the leaders in 5G equipment (it has over 3,000 patent
applications for the technology), with many countries around the world
likely to choose it to accelerate them into the next phase of the
digital age. According to Brewster, the current actions by the US amount
to a "coordinated campaign of attack," designed to lock Huawei, and
China with it, out of the global technology supply chain.
Indeed, the US is still assessing the ramifications on its ability to
keep pace with things like 5G technologies. Huawei's domination in this
area of tech took the country by surprise when it realized how
widespread the company's gains were, said Adam Segal, an expert on
technology and national security at the Council on Foreign Relations.
"They really hadn't thought very long and hard about what that might
mean for US competitiveness and US security."
China's tech champion has been caught up in escalating political
tensions, but it's determined to maintain and even boost its success on
the international stage.

As U.S. officials have pressured allies not to use networking gear from
Chinese technology giant Huawei over spying concerns, President Trump
has urged American companies to “step up” and compete to provide the
next generation of high-speed, low-lag wireless service known as 5G.
There’s just one problem: Barely any U.S. companies manufacture the
technology’s most critical components.

"The Pentagon will share part of the wireless spectrum, allowing telecom carriers to reach more areas with fewer cell towers."
SUPERFAST 5G WIRELESS isn’t exactly spreading across the US at superfast speeds. The White House and Defense Department on Monday announced a plan to accelerate the process by making a crucial new chunk of spectrum available to the wireless industry.
The spectrum, which telecom companies will share with the Pentagon, aims to help wireless carriers offer 5G more broadly across the US. It also should generate billions of dollars for the US Treasury when auctioned off. The frequency is currently being used for high-power defense radar, but the DoD has determined that it can be freed up without affecting military systems.
“It’s a big deal,” for the wireless industry, says Jason Leigh, an analyst at IDC who focuses on 5G. “The US is desperate for some mid-band spectrum.”
Freeing up the new spectrum is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to beat America’s big technological rival, China

China owns the 21st century. Where can I find a brand new TV or cellphone that
says "Made in USA"? Oh right, I can't,
they don't exist.
The British and the Dutch once commanded
vast world empires. Now, they have
dwindled to near insignifance.
The US is just another fading empire.

The budget proposal comes amid pressure from China, which is investing heavily in emerging technologies
By Sara Castellanos Aug. 14, 2020

The Trump administration has proposed a spending increase of about 30% in the 2021 nondefense budget for artificial intelligence and quantum information science.
The proposal, released Friday, coincides with competitive pressure from China and other countries that are investing in these emerging technologies.
“We need to make sure we’re winning and leading in the technologies of today…and also in technology that will define our future,” Mr. Kratsios said.
China is adopting AI at a faster rate than the U.S. and the European Union, possibly because Chinese companies and citizens understand the value of AI, according to a 2019 report released by the Center for Data Innovation, a nonpartisan research institute. Some business leaders have said the U.S. needs to spend more money to maintain a competitive edge in AI.
