US unwise to enlist Google in Huawei attack

Now that Google has joined the trade dispute between the United States and China, it seems Washington is more concerned about who would dominate the telecommunications and high-tech sectors rather than global growth.

Google claims it is executing the White House's executive order, which has blacklisted Huawei, to deny the Chinese 5G technology giant security updates and technical support. As a result, new Huawei devices would not have apps such as YouTube and maps.

Certain issues in the Sino-US trade dispute center on Huawei because the Chinese enterprise is a leader in 5G technology and the US feels it is losing the tech battle to China.
