Beijing is considering retaliating against the Chinese operations of two major European telecommunication-equipment manufacturers, Nokia and Ericsson, should European Union members follow the lead of the U.S. and U.K. in barring China’s Huawei from 5G networks.
Yeah, that’s a very good point. Shutting China out technologically encourages them to start developing their own tech instead of relying on US companies. The Huawei fiasco also showed the whole world how dangerous it is to rely on US tech since they can stop you from using it if you become competitive with them. I expect that we might see a tech split between US and China going forward. If US becomes insular and China continues investing in open standards than it’ll make a lot of sense for Europe to collaborate with China more closely on technology.
This move on the part of US is a colossal act of stupidity and short shortsightedness in my opinion. It achieves a very short term pain for China, but will result in a long term strategic loss for US.
