I’ve lived through what Americans call the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and the Iraq War. The Huawei War is only about commerce, but like all wars will extract a high price from both sides. I’m finding so much news I created this site.
I’ve reported about Huawei since 2004, when they were still unknown in the West. Paul Reynolds of British Telecom told me they were doing exceptional things. They now are twice the size of any other telecom vendor.
They are extremely competitive, remarkably hardworking, and very, very good at what they do. “No one is perfect,” the butler said, and neither are any companies this size. On balance, they have been at least as honourable as peers in the West.
I have a major conflict of interest. Huawei has paid my expenses to events and contracted with the research company I do some work with. I will do my best to do accurate reporting.
