Well Huawei seems to have succeeded

Huawei invented most of 5G technology and could tailor the 5G standards to their implementations. Which is also why they were first to market with carrier equipment [1] and had the first CPU with an on-chip 5G modem [2].

No they didn’t. This is utter garbage. I have worked in cellular testing since 1997. The first to market with pre-5G were NTT DoCoMo and Verizon. Huawuei were late to the game. My source is the companies we sold to and I supported personally.
