Attack on Huawei is stealing from the future

On one side is telecommunications equipment provider Huawei, a private company seen as a symbol of China's technological prowess.

On the other is the world's sole superpower going all out to try to strangle its development, resorting to such means as cutting it off from all US components and software that it needs to make its products, using national security as a pretext.

But if you think the outcome is predetermined, and the weak has no other choice but to take such hard-handedness and humiliation lying down, you are wrong.
