- luckydata 6y agoHow come? Everything they’ve got they just stole from other entities. Unless there’s a European company 4 year ahead this is just impossible. Plus I reject this notion off hand as huawei ships famously half baked and buggy software with their equipment.
- leto_ii 6y ago> Everything they’ve got they just stole from other entities. Is this true, though?
- pb7 6y agoHard to tell what’s what when you shamelessly steal for decades with no accountability.
- DiogenesKynikos 6y agoIf it's asserted often and loudly enough, it becomes true - at least in the minds of most people. Huawei spends over 15 billion USD/year on R&D, which puts it in the same league as Apple and Google. Only a few companies in the world spend more on R&D. That's the real reason why Huawei is viewed as a threat. The US has been happy for China to produce cheap knick-knacks. Now that China develops and produces its own cutting-edge technology, it is perceived as a threat.
- luckydata 6y agoNo matter how much budget you have, there's always something you can't do. It's pretty convenient to throw a bunch of resources at a project knowing "the other half" of the IP is gonna show up for free on a thumb drive someone drops by after leaving their job at Cisco (or whatever other company they decide to raid that month) in a hurry. Your R&D budget becomes effectively your 15B (I don't believe that number btw) plus whatever Cisco, Broadcom etc.. spend. How convenient.
- DiogenesKynikos 6y agoAny evidence for your assertion that Huawei is stealing Cisco and Broadcom's R&D?
- luckydata 6y agoPlenty. Are you asking me to google it for you?
- DiogenesKynikos 6y agoFeel free to do so.
- luckydata 6y agohard pass, do your own research.
- Nokinside 6y agoAmerican companies are not behind, they don't exist. US companies can't compete in the market where they don't exist. Qualcomm sells components, not mobile networks. There are only four big companies left for for 4G/LTE/5G mobile infrastructure: COMPANY MARKET SHARE Huawei 28% Ericsson 27% Nokia 23% ZTE 13% Samsung 3%
- rumanator 6y agoMarket share is not very telling in case of Huawei, as they're notorious for dumping expensed by subsidies awarded by the Chinese regime. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Huawei https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Huawei If the Chinese regime throws cash at a company to buy themselves into a dominant position to play their role in a geopolitical game, market share means nothing.
- pb7 6y agoWhat is this claim based from? They may be 4 years ahead in surveillance technology, I’ll give you that.
- amelius 6y agoThe problem with China is that they support their companies in ways that are incompatible with western laws. In the long run it is simply not possible for US companies to compete with Chinese companies, as they would be essentially competing with the Chinese nation.
- onemoresoop 6y agoIf that’s the issue why not form American nation like companies or something of the sorts? Or Americano-European conglomerates? Competition could be a good thing at the end of the day..
