It's an interesting history lesson, but the problem with Huawei today is this: They (and the CCP) will fund 100% of the rollout for a telecom to use their 5G server equipment. For Western mfgs. to compete, either Huawei has to be banned, or equivalent pricing and funding has to be instantly available. Or no sale. Nortel never had a chance to compete with that. The US funds Boeing's overseas sales via the Export-Import Bank, but that plan has to be extended to domestic and foreign 5G sales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export%E2%80%93Import_Bank_of_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export%E2%80%93Import_Bank_of_...
