The Huawei Challenge
Despite an effort by the United States to persuade its friends and
allies not to use 5G wireless communications technology developed by
Huawei, many will find it hard to avoid doing business with the Chinese
telecom giant altogether.
Robert A. Manning, a senior fellow in the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, explains: “It will be difficult to avoid licensing any Huawei or Chinese 5G technology as Chinese firms hold 37 percent of all 5G patents.”
Huawei, for instance, said Manning, “has over 1,000 patents, so many nations and carriers may have little choice but to license some Chinese 5G technology.”
