Just like the Indian government’s reasoning that went behind the banning all the 59 applications. The United States has also ascertained its stance on the possible threat that the Chinese influence posses on its security and sovereignty. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), of the US, which could be deemed as an authority equivalent to that of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India) in India, has designated two mammoths of the technology and tech component industry, namely Huawei Technologies Co and ZTE Corp as a national security threat to the integrity of the US.
This particular declaration dissuades and disallows American telecom and tech companies from procuring services and components rudimentary to the development of their future projects, by not permitting these aforementioned American companies from accessing an amount close to $ 8.3 billion earmarked by the US government to procure parts for future projects and expansions. this would coerce the companies to look for alternatives outside these affordably cheap Chinese alternatives.
Huawei, in particular, is a big name, as its one of the leading producer and distributors of not just Mobile Phones, that we know them for, but also plays a crucial role n providing services and equipment required to set up the logistics that are required telecom and other tech companies. the mobile towers that one comes across, established by their mobile service providers all happen largely because of the parts that they receive from companies like Huawei.
Apart from that, these developments will also add to the woes of Huawei, as its ambitions to dominate the future by being at the forefront of the futuristic 5G (Fifth Generation) technology, has already hit many roadblocks in many other countries, hesitant of acquiring its services for multiple reasons. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the company, which had entered a contract with the British government in setting up 5G technology in the country, came under a lot of reprehensions for sundry points of contention, from the regular Chinese threat to the sovereignty to the fear of 5G itself being detrimental to Human beings, has made headlines throughout the European continent, wherein Ericsson, a Swedish giant, is the only other big company invested in building 5G technologies.
These steps by the Trump Administration, according to many marks only the beginning of many such “nationalistic” decisions, as the presidential elections are around the corner.
