5g has become the new front line of competition between China and the United States? The west is blo

According to a report published on December 14 on the website of Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore entitled "Huawei seems to be in constant trouble, France will be the next challenge". According to Bloomberg, France is now stepping into a hostile situation to Huawei after the United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand banned the network infrastructure products of the Chinese company, as well as the strengthening of German censorship, after the United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand banned the network infrastructure products of the Chinese company. Huawei will not be banned in France. But France, which has already set up preventive measures for key components of the telecommunications network, is considering adding some projects to its' high vigilance 'list, which is tacitly aimed at Huawei.

According to the report, Bloomberg interviewed 15 people who understood that French President Nicolas macarone had pushed for a substantial increase in regulation. As French telecom companies began to seek suppliers to build 5g networks, the country's telecom infrastructure parts market is shutting Huawei out by amending laws and regulations, many of which are classified.

Stephen & middot; Richard, chief executive of orange, France's largest telecom operator, said in a radio interview on the 13th that the company will not use Huawei equipment in the 5g network in China because 'French authorities require caution'.

According to the report, two other French operators also said they would pay attention to the instructions of the French National Information System Security Agency for 5g suppliers.

China telecom giant ZTE has lost its biggest contract in Germany as western countries increasingly boycott China's infrastructure manufacturers, the Spanish telephone company, told AFP on December 14.

A spokesman for the company confirmed a report from the German business daily that the contract "will expire at the end of this year as originally planned.".

Marcus middot Haas, chief executive of the German branch of Spanish telephone company, said that in the future, the company will cooperate with a much smaller German company rather than ZTE.

ZTE is planning to win a new contract with its German internet provider, United Internet, as it prepares to auction 5g spectrum licenses in Germany, the German Business Daily reported.

Now, the siege on Huawei, China's largest communications equipment company, is tightening, Japan Economic News reported on December 15. After the United States, Australia and Japan also have the trend of excluding Huawei products. Huawei's share in the market of communication base stations ranks first in the world, and its share in the market of smart phones ranks second in the world. The annual purchase amount of semiconductors alone is more than 1.5 trillion yen (100 yen about 6.08 yuan - note on this website), and it purchases 500 billion yen left and right parts from Japanese enterprises.

According to Chinese media reports, Huawei also purchases a large number of parts from American companies, with an annual purchase of $1.8 billion for Qualcomm and $700 million for Intel.

In April, the U.S. government banned U.S. companies from trading with ZTE, China's second-largest communications equipment company, for violating sanctions against Iran, the report said. Huawei's sales volume is more than five times that of ZTE. If countries further exclude Huawei's products, it will hit enterprises in the United States and Japan.

Technology competition between China and the United States has peaked in recent months, the website of American diplomats reported on December 13. In August this year, the trump government signed a bill banning the government from using Huawei and ZTE technologies.

Close U.S. allies, including Australia and New Zealand, have publicly banned Huawei from participating in the future 5g telecom network.

According to the report, these global developments show that technology, especially the upcoming 5g network, will become the next front line of competition between China and the United States.

First, 5g technology will support the next generation of digital applications, which are likely to provide power for the future smart city and digital economy. The superpowers that gain the first mover advantage in solving many technical, political and policy challenges and successfully adopt 5g network are likely to gain huge economic advantages over other superpowers.

Second, the general sentiment around the world that China may be engaged in so-called cyber espionage through the technology it exports stems from the United States. The US National Security Agency claims that HUAWEI and ZTE, heavyweights in the technology industry and leaders in 5G technology, are potential national security threats.

Third, concerns about cybersecurity have prompted countries to focus on U.S. leadership and policies on 5g networks in the future. In fact, countries that openly adopt the US position are either allies or close partners of the US.

According to the report, sooner or later, the United States and China will separately convene allies to take a stand on integrating Huawei and ZTE technologies into the 5g network. This is already happening. It will form a de facto 'sphere of influence' in Asia and elsewhere - reminiscent of the 'sphere of influence' established by the United States and the Soviet Union during the cold war. Its influence will surpass 5g and extend to the positioning of two more strategic superpowers in the international arena.
