If the technology is great, every country will use it without questioning its source, but Chinese tech has never been so innovative, always copying and pasting with a bit of modifications. If you are forcing a country to use your technology, then there's something wrong.

I believe this is incorrect in this case. Huawei is ahead of competitors in the 5G space.

If advanced spying technologies are included they are ahead

Way, waaaaay ahead

That is because everyone else is working on 6G!

Considering the sheer volume of mobile devices in asia, and China in particular, this wouldn't surprise me. However, I was under the impression that "5g" doesn't actually mean anything. As in there is no technical definition or standard that Huawei could be ahead of. Are we just talking about general mobile technologies or have things changed wrt 5G?

I believe most people mean 5G NR (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G_NR) when they talk about 5G, the same way 4G usually means LTE.

Ah, I didn't know this was a thing. Thanks mate.

I understand where you are coming from ( the always copying and pasting bit) but Huawei leads the 5G patents by a decent margin [1] , Complete article [2]

There are many Chinese companies doing copy pasting. but in general China is innovative today. You just don’t hear much about what they are building and doing as much as you would hear from EU and US.
