The tech syndicate at Silicon is pressurizing the government against such a move, but the Trump administration is adamant. This move comes at a time when the US is neck-to-neck with China in GDP index for technology and automobile. With cheap labour and high foreign investments, China is surging past the American tech lobby in all aspects. China, spearheaded by Huawei’s sales, boosted its export in Asia and Europe by 36% in 2018 and 2019. This steady rise will not stop according to the visions of Huawei’s shareholders. However, the Trump administration imposed heavy sanctions on Huawei in 2019 for violating US trade laws. Huawei surpassed Apple and Samsung in exporting and shipments during the second half of 2019. The shipment percentage escalated to a whopping 29%, the highest in the last three years.
