The US is lobbying its allies not to use Huawei technology in their 5G networks, the reason given by the US is that the technology can be used by Beijing for spying, which has no evidence yet. Surprisingly, the US president Trump is softening his tone on the Huawei and wrote on his Tiwitter, ‘I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies’. It is undoubted that Huawei is the global leader in the next-generation 5G network technology; if the concerns did not exist, Huawei would have become the first choice of most countries in terms of building their 5G networks.
Some research has shown that without using Huawei technology, building 5G networks could potentially take further 18 months. This is a cost that cannot be ignored. In the 4G world, there have been so many achievements, including mobile payments. Many online services advance their businesses via the coming of the 4G generation. Being 18 months late in the 5G generation can potentially drag down the development significantly, which is a risk that no country is willing to take.
At the moment, no one can fully know what is going to happen in the 5G generation, some expect AR and VR will advance their usages in the 5G generation but no one can be absoultely certain. Being left out in the 5G is a risk that no country wants to take, so they have to use Huawei technology to build their 5G networks as fast as possible.
