Huawei arrest: The start of the cold war
This article is about the arrest of a top Huawei executive raises the stakes in the intensifying battle between the United States and China for tech supremacy. Huawei is one of the world's biggest makers of smartphones and networking equipment. It is at the heart of China's ambitions to reduce its reliance on foreign technology and become an innovation powerhouse in its own right. The country is pumping hundreds of billions into its "Made in China 2025" plan, which aims to make China a global leader in industries such as robotics, electric cars and computer chips. The introduction of 5G wireless technology, which hinges on Huawei, is a top priority. The United States however is trying to push back China's growing tech power in order to maintain American dominance. President Donald Trump has tried to tackle these issues directly. His administration says that the hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs it's slapped on Chinese goods are part of an effort to stop China from stealing US tech. Officials also say that China must stop forcing companies to hand over trade secrets as a condition of market access. Meanwhile, the United States has targeted Chinese tech companies that rely on US parts. There is a risk for Huawei but for Huawei to succeed at building out 5G networks, it needs the United States. Due to Huawei being dependent the United States are already in the lead.
My opinion on this is that the name of the article sounds pretty crazy "cold war" the technology battle between China and the United States could lead to better advancements for both sides. Despite China depending on the United States for help, both sides shouldn't be battling against each other. But the whole Huawei getting arrested as affected China in the long run since their main smartphone and technology equipment maker has been arrested. I can compare this situation to my History class since we learned about the war of nuclear weapons between the United States and North Korea. Both sides were fighting in a battle of who has the higher advanced systems. This article seems more biased though and as an American think it's more biased towards the United States.
