Lol this guy clearly is told what to write. To use that analogy, Huawei holds the engines, the flight controls, the wings, the fuselage while Ericsson Nokia and Qualcomm hold what could be considered amounting to the ailerons and maybe a stabiliser or two. While Huawei
ALSO hold the interiors.
5G
core tech (not carriage and seats) was 90% Huawei dominated and only recently have Ericsson and Nokia "caught up" somewhat. While they've started building networks on non Chinese tech about a year ago, China started OVER two years ago. One year in computing and telecomm tech isn't negligible. While a combined, Swedish, American, Japanese, and Korean effort in 5G tech overall amounts to more than what Huawei itself holds today. This wasn't the case when 5G first became commercially available. Huawei dominated 100% then 99% then 90% and now it still holds a good half of the core tech patents. We're not talking about interiors.
Notice how sneaky that piece of writing was. Totally ignoring the fact that Western 5G tech is heavily based on Chinese ones which arrived first and was the basis for western 5G tech. In fact plenty have been "appropriated" by those organisations and we don't call it stealing or forcing.
While that piece suggests that Huawei doesn't have any core 5G tech, the opposite is true. Just because western organisations have finally got their niche and developed enough to build networks, doesn't mean China wasn't in that position long ago. How else could China have superior 5G networks 2 years ago and still have vastly superior 5G networks today? Without using a single piece of Ericsson or Nokia tech?
How come western nations were nearly two years late? Lied about having 5G networks when it started (AT&T) when they really only still had 4G? How come western nations still have primitive 5G networks while China's been using 5G to conduct off-site mining, off-site construction, remote farming, and transport management experiments nearly two years ago? lol
Someone should correct that journalist.
Huawei DID hold absolute 5G technical advantage from three years ago to maybe just recently. It still holds at least 5G tech parity because western 5G tech only recently caught up to where Huawei was about two years ago. These are facts. Just because Huawei today doesn't "hold technical advantage" in most commercial 5G fields, doesn't mean it still doesn't dominate it in reality. While Ericsson might be a 20%, Nokia a 10%, Samsung qualcomm 20% for chips etc, Huawei being a 50% and being able to do things these guys can't, doesn't mean western nations will have to use Huawei. It's simply stating that in the domain of commercial application which China had two years ago, western corps have finally caught up in those select fields and so Huawei has no technical advantage because they can do it all without using Huawei. The other side of the coin is that Huawei is still about two years ahead and the 5G network in China is at least a year ahead both in technology, capability, and distribution. South Korea though has greater density and better distribution than China.
