The tech war with China is only ramping up in 2022

The U.S. and China are at war over technology that will be used in almost every industry. There is no predicting how things will end, as the trade dispute has grown under President Joe Biden.

Things have not worked out as expected. Three years later, the original targets of Trump's economic bans are still alive and kicking. After every pundit said the company wouldn't be around, HUAWEI is still making phones.

The P50 Pro happened anyway

Because of the crushing trade bans that prevent the company from accessing components, the P series flagship phone is only using the 4G-only version of the Snapdragon 800 from Qualcomm.

Unlike the past few phones from Hauwei, it also has no access to the proprietary software of the search engine, but can run the free and open operating system. There is no real surprise since the Harmony OS is only available in China.

The rest of what you would expect fromHuawei, like big expensive cameras featuring the Leica brand name, is there, along with their own artificial intelligence and machine learning platform, to make things just a bit smarter. These are the things that were used to make some of the best phones you could buy.

It is surprising that the company is still in the market despite the limitations placed on it by the U.S. and its trade partners. Instead, they were aimed at the real money-making arm of the company: its 5G equipment.

5G and other smart tech

Several smaller Chinese companies produce inexpensive and high-quality 5G equipment. The kind of equipment that companies like cellular carriers and cable companies buy is not something you or I can buy. In the U.S., there was enough equipment from the two companies to make it worrisome, but in other parts of the world, they were the leaders because of their value.

There are two reasons for the ban and further sanctions. The first is that the intelligence community fears that the companies making critical equipment could be placing Chinese spy tech into the tech. If there is doubt, placing a hold is probably the wisest decision. You don't want equipment crucial to running your power grid or water utility to be compromised.

Economics is the second reason. The U.S. was the leader in innovation for a long time. That is being challenged by China.

There is concern about China using less scrupulous practices like reverse engineering and state-sponsored financial terrorism to gain a foothold against the west. Multiple U.S. lawmakers have pushed these ideas, causing a government reaction. Is China backing industrial espionage attempts against U.S. companies or is the MIC25 initiative an actual move to push the U.S. further into an economic downfall? Many in the U.S. government believe this.

The consequences for consumers are not as bad as they could be. It is difficult to buy a new car, and the release of new phones was delayed, but the U.S. economy has not collapsed yet. There are other disruptions that happen every day. Telecom giant Lumen Technologies was forced to remove all of its equipment from other countries because it wanted to provide services to the USDA. In addition, the FCC wants to ban the sale of security cameras in schools and airports in the U.S., a move that will follow an order to remove the equipment. Consumers will still see increased prices because of the programs that provide taxpayer dollars to companies.

What's next?

The U.S. is about to win this war based on global sales numbers. If global disruption is the goal, turning a profit doesn't really matter as long as there are no concerns about state-sponsored production facilities.

China is the largest market in the world. It has the most people, who need the most things, and its growth is in the same areas that brought the manufacturing boom to the U.S. after World War II. Not only tech manufacturing, but also lumber and steel.

The current trade war may be able to chip away at those industries by trying to deny the tech needed to grow, but it won't have much of an impact. Tech R&D and innovation is one of the strengths of the U.S. Our government believes that it is necessary to grow at home. Some economists would agree with it. The bipartisan support for tech grants is a positive.

The long game is being played by China. Every large company within the borders of the Chinese government has an investment from the Chinese government. Funding and support will increase against an economic adversary that has made it known it no longer wants to be friendly. Both the U.S. and China are looking out for their own best interests and that is not why you should blame them.

Right now, the best we can do as consumers is support initiatives that would move us as a nation towards the goals we each believe in and hope that the economic war doesn't evolve into a conventional war.
