    My next phone will be a Huawei. I will give my middle finger salute to the USA government and the mainstream media cronies.

    I like how CNBC's logo basically is a copy of Huawei's.

    When you can't compete, simply kill your competitor.
  • @menfolks
    I haven't heard a lot response from Huawei who's been working hard. That's winner's attitude

    This video seems to try to framing as if no other companies have any legal litigation, in fact Huawei probably have 1% of litigation of a typical US company last 20 years. A better comparison would be how many litigation Huawei has prior to trade war, versus US companies of comparable size. (After intense scrutinizing, and a decade of illegal spying and hacking by CIA, all US came up is 1 legal suit from 20 years ago that is already settled outside of court and another case of breach of US sanctions to Iran (which not even allies in EU follows, in fact you get punished if you obeys if you obey US unilateral sanctions. This case also being branded by the US as "bank fraud case", where they said their laptops were sent to a third country instead of Iran. China's 5G and Huawei's Processors and Memory Chip already the best in the world. Last year Huawei had world first 7nm Chip ahead of Apple by couple of months, and world first 5G modern(till now no other company has it), and it as world first Nano memory Chip, a next generation memory chip. In addition, as everyone follow technology remembers, it's iPhone stole Huawei's two camera setup, and sequentially the telephoto lenses. But understandably, US is so scared of emerging world, and citizen of any other countries improve their life, as always.

    US to Germany: stop buying Huawei devices, it's extremely dangerous to your national security! Germany: how do you know that? US: we are tracking Merkel's phone call 24 hours

    Like in 4G, China and EU companies team up again in order to beat American competitors in 5G. Both governments just signed a 5G cooperation deal. The victim of this time might be Samsung, which is mainly owned by American investors.
