The 360 | U.S. vs. Huawei: Is future of the internet at stake?
Last week, the U.S. government charged the Chinese company Huawei with running a campaign to steal trade secrets from American businesses over the course of two decades. It was the latest move in the Trump administration’s effort to constrain the tech giant, which it considers to be a threat to national security.
In addition to accusations of intellectual property theft, the Trump administration has raised concerns that Huawei’s networks could be used to spy on behalf of the Chinese government — a charge the company denies. Those fears have escalated as Huawei has become a major supplier for the technology behind 5G, the next generation of mobile networks that is designed to serve as the backbone for future innovations like self-driving cars.
Story continuesThe disagreement has put America’s allies into a tough position in which they must choose between upsetting the U.S. by contracting with Huawei or potentially falling behind in the technology race if they spurn the company. The Trump administration has reportedly worked with U.S. tech companies to accelerate the creation of American-made 5G alternatives. Verizon, the American telecommunications company that owns Yahoo, is providing 5G coverage in some U.S.
