The United States government's qualms against Chinese telecommunications equipment and smartphone manufacturer Huawei Technologies are no secret. The U.S. has been campaigning actively against the company's 5G infrastructure equipment in Europe, as it urges allies to eliminate Huawei's presence from their networks for the next-generation cellular technology.

A major problem faced by the American government in its campaign against Huawei is the fact that no U.S.-based company is capable of manufacturing networking equipment for 5G cell towers. So, the only alternative for America's European allies is to use equipment from Swedish Ericsson or Finnish Nokia. Given that Huawei offers its customers improved credit facilities and other benefits courtesy of having the Chinese government on its back financially, the company's products naturally provide telecommunications carriers with an attractive proposition.
