Sad and unfortunate that the US is going after its own tech companies. Trump had already gone after Facebook pretty hard, and Google is now currently in the headlines. This anti tech attitude runs across party lines too, the Democrats want to outright break apart the big US tech companies into dozens of smaller companies. It's as if the US politicians don't just not trust Chinese tech, they seem to have a distrust of and agenda against big tech in general, even American tech.

Just like how Russia and Putin likes it. Trump is helping out his buddy.

Sometimes it feels like tech jobs that create a new upper middle class are an anathema to both parties.

The US thought good when they broke up AT&T, despite that company and monopoly is a technological powerhouse and even a technological national treasure, inventing all things telecom, and including the Unix operating system. The old AT&T or Bell Labs in particular, would have been like the US' Huawei. AT&T was the only US company that made telecom equipment. When AT&T was split, the telecom making arm became Lucent Technologies, and that one died somewhere.

Nowadays, the new AT&T isn't doing anything to contribute to technology, just buying up media and streaming services to compete with others.

The US has gone after, and still going after Qualcomm for monopolistic practices. Ironically Huawei was brought in as a witness to that.

Qualcomm is a monopolist that overcharges, given that they're the only ones who charge a percentage of the final smartphone price.

And a big part of the reason why Lucent Technologies died was because the USA went with the CDMA standard whilst the rest of the world went with GSM from Nokia and Ericsson

Off topic: I don't understand, since Huawei develop 5G based on American technologies (chip, software, etc...), why the America itself can't develop an equivalent or better 5G than Huawei?

I think it has to do with the way corporations are run in the states nowadays. CEOs are way more interested in stock valuations than long term strategy. The matter of the fact is hardware just isn’t as profitable as software nowadays. If there is no easy money in the short term, investors ignore it.

I already posted the reason for that --- the fall of AT&T, no more Bell Labs and no more Lucent Technologies. Other things also mattered, like the fall of Motorola, and its patents taken up by Google.

Individual parts are less than the whole. Just because you have all the components doesn’t mean you can get the final product to work

Making Telecomm equipment is more than making the chips that are inside. There are tonnes of R&D going into designing the standard that 5G uses, designing the equipment itself, and designing the modems that it uses.

Simply put, being good at creating tools to build a house doesn't mean you are good at building houses. There's more to building a house than building the tools that it needs.

This basically applies to every other industry in the world. Each company on the supply chain is good at certain things, and they work together to make technology work. The iPhone in your hand has parts from all over the world, let alone equipment as sophisticated as 5G equipment.
