Simply put, Huawei's products have better quality and companies in the US can't compete with it. They are already #1 in telecommunication equipment and for consumer electronics like smart phones, they are killing other competitors

we used to maintain our own k8s cluster and it's a pain in the ass given we have no dedicated ops. the cluster crashed every one or two month and we never tried making it up to date. I suggest every startup use a hosted k8s solution, w

Worked in Google US, then Alibaba China, then a startup founder. I'm comparing not your average companies but top notch from the two worlds. Engineering culture has a lot similarity between the two, both are doing very innovative stuff
