Huawei sides with Trump on 5G: ‘United States is dragging’

Huawei Chairman Guo Ping states President Donald Trump is ideal about the United States hopping towards 5G.

“I have noticed the president’s Twitter, he said that US needs faster and smarter 5G, or even 6G in the future, and he has realized that the US is lagging behind in this respect, and I think his message is clear and correct,” Guo informed Reuters on Sunday. “We need to have unified standard that should be verifiable. It should not be based on politics.”

Guo’s remarks follow a set of Trump tweets on the subject late recently.

“I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on………,” the very first tweet stated.

“….something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology!” the 2nd tweet continued.

More than anything else in those tweets, the recommendation to 6G raised eyebrows.

The remarks from Trump and Guo are the most recent in what has actually shown to be a complex relationship in between the United States federal government and Chinese devices maker. Huawei has actually been implicated of breaching United States sanctions on Iran, taking United States innovation and spying for the Chinese federal government. Huawei has actually rejected the allegations, a belief Guo restated to Reuters. On Monday, a bipartisan group of senators ratcheted up the pressure on Huawei, asking the federal government to think about prohibiting the business’s items from usage in the United States power grid.

On Sunday, Huawei displayed its brand-new $2,600 5G collapsible phone, Mate X at the Mobile World Congress exhibition in Barcelona.

Huawei decreased to comment even more.
