In a stunning and an extraordinary move, Huawei has exposed the United States government and industry to the equivalent of an opening of cards, and moving-your-chips-to-back-your-bet move. It offered to share its 5G technology to a US company set-up, which can become an independent competitor to Huawei, with the codes open to scrutiny and recoding without Huawei’s involvement. This shows Huawei’s confidence in how competitive and economic its technology is against other available technologies. It addresses security concerns of a “backdoor channel” that the US government is accusing it of, and is a way to show its openness to globalized systems of manufacturing and trade inter-dependence rather than splitting the tech standards of the world.
