The decision to lift some of the restrictions on Huawei is a prudent and mutually beneficial move. As matter of negotiating chip, there are still many pending restrictions on Huawei. The US administration should consider relaxing the restrictions further. Such action will not only engender the goodwill of Chinese government, it will also enhance the productivity and innovation.
As President Trump prepares to travel to G20 summit, and meet with President Xi, the media reports suggest that China will insist on lifting of sanctions against Huawei. President Trump should certainly consider this.
The question, therefore, is this: Can US protect its national security interests, and yet permit Huawei’s participation in building a productive society? The answer is Yes, the US can. If Europeans can do it , why not the US which is the most innovative society in the world?
We must recognize two important facts, and work based on those facts. One, Huawei has now grown to be a global technology and market leader. Two, Huawei now stands as a potential significant global contributor to increased economic growth and productivity through its enabling technologies.
Trump administration deserves credit for its likely success in its negotiations with China on commerce and trade. However, not only business and commerce but geo-political considerations also urge a solution to Huawei situation. After all, China’s government is deeply interested in a solution to this issue. Further, other countries may not only gain a technological lead but also geo-political advantage by engaging with Huawei. Apart from UK which is considering engagement with Huawei, so are Canada (on how to repair the relations) and Switzerland.
