Huawei has spent tens of millions of dollars for R & D in the past two decades, In the West companies have spent that same amount of money for bonus checks.😢😢😢

[richardlo]

"Trusted" telecom means ones the CIA/FBI/NSA can listen in to?

[georgetsang]

Excuses, excuses, excuses... you lost due to laziness, prioritizing profit over R&D or technological advancement.

[desolatedgamer]

Trusted infrastructure.. u should ask Angela Merkel of Germany.. 😂😂😂

[davidliao]

It's always others "unfair" doing that causing the West slides😮

[mkang]

The difference between the West and Chinese is that in China, it's the Government who subsidised the big companies. In the West, it's those big companies that subsidised the government.

[esphilee]

Huawei invested in talents, instead of politicians.

[wingkei]

Just bleam bleam bleam is the USA way of reaction instead of corporation. West just wants the winner take all.

[alexlau]

You imposed drastic sanctions and kidnapped Huawei CFO and you still failed. 😂

[neilwolff]

Blaming others won't make US great again😮

[netizencapet]

Hidden elephant: sometimes State Steering and planning really works, learn to play with both hands.

[anggi]

You have abandoned your manufacture sector for decades. Instead, you put your effort on property market. Now other countries are having rapid industrualization and you're upset because of that.

[rayeo]

He missed out Samsung, before Huawei Samsung was dominant. So his assessment is inaccurate

[goonhoongtatt]

You lost the advantage due to arrogance, incompetence and laziness.

[ErenYega]

Woah it’s the actual Nathaniel Fick from Generation Kill!

[tanzine]

Then what about your massive semiconductor subsidy of 40 billion now

[orangutan]

Google this: How US prevented Japan's Toshiba from becoming No.1 chipmaker.

[zefro]

Trust and privacy goes hand in hand. You have neither.

[ibrahimn]

No the same subsidises were available in west they did not change and move with the times they thought customer will stay no matter what .
Anyway iPhone killed all the other brands

[lingth]
