US betrays all its ugliness with its attacks on Huawei

Google's suspension of business with Huawei, which it announced on the weekend, is not a surprise after Washington's blacklisting of the Chinese telecommunications equipment maker on Wednesday.

But - and no doubt to the relief of those that have been happy to use Huawei's products and do business with it - having seen what happened to another Chinese company ZTE, the telecom giant has prepared itself for an attack by the United States and has implemented a contingency plan.

That explains why Ren Zhengfei, founder and also chief executive officer of Huawei, said in an interview with Japanese journalist on Saturday that his company will not have any problem even if US companies stop providing it with components. What is even more noteworthy is that Ren said Huawei will never manufacture equipment for 5G telecom networks in the US even if his company is invited to do so.
