The US-China tech cold war is about to spread, and that will force leaders to make some difficult decisions. Alphabet Inc's Google said it would cease some ties with Huawei, including limiting the Chinese electronics company's access to its Android mobile operating system.

But if a nation agrees to install Chinese networks or infrastructure, there's an increasing chance it will be cut off from US products under the guise of American national security.
