That could very well be the case. But I don't care: Huawei has no power over me. Neither has the Chinese Government.
The US is equally eager (or more) to tamper with the free market, with the small difference that they are in a position to actually do it. From my point of view, the US is a huge problem, and is making my life difficult, but the Chinese are just another producer of cheap and good quality goods.
I do not care what happens in the US. I am not in the US. I am not a US citizen. But I am affected by the decisions of what I consider an adversary, that is removing me the option of buying a perfectly functioning product.
I understand why this is happening. I understand the motivations.
What I am saying is that we outside the US should plan accordingly, and reduce our dependency to US technology.
I welcome this event, since I consider it a wake up call. I am convinced the Chinese will lead in making the technology stack a free market again.
