Huawei’s success and market evolution are a contested topic nowadays, with critics arguing that the vendor is a front for the Chinese government, while several telco operators claim the Chinese vendor is continuously innovating in the industry and setting a new standard for client support. It is important to note that most criticism is not coming from clients, partners, or even competitors, but from government bodies, national security organisations, and regulators, to a certain extent. The line between these two opposite arguments represents a very delicate balance, which currently depends on many critical issues, including the geopolitical trade war, existing vendor relationships, and 5G market conditions.
