Huawei ban a salvo in widening US-China standoff 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseIn effectively banning tech giant Huawei, President Donald Trump has fired a new salvo against China as the United States increasingly sees confrontation as the best way to curb the rising power. While Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that the United States does not see a “Cold War” with China, Skinner explicitly drew a parallel to the Soviet Union. After the United States welcomed China into the global trading order two decades ago, developed economies built a complementary relationship as the billion-plus nation supplied low-end labor. Indeed, observers point out that for all of the anger about Huawei, no other company is a true global competitor in the game-changing field of fifth-generation networks.
