第一輪爭吵剛剛開始，美國正瞄準華為，華為是全球最大的電信網絡設備供應商和第二大銷售量的智能手機品牌。華為在2018年底銷售額達到1000億美元，而二十年前僅為10億美元，該公司在20年內增長了100倍。 美國擔心華為的背景，因為它與中國軍方關係密切，儘管它仍然是一家私人公司，不像中興通訊是國有企業，美國正在阻止它與各國簽署網絡設備合同，並說服其盟友禁止採用華為的5G。 它的創始人任正非1944年出生在貴州貧困的農村省，他的第一個職業是解放軍的技術研究員，據說他在軍事縮編期間失去了工作，但他與軍方的關係使他走到了今天的位置。 任正飛用鐵腕統治著他的公司，其軍事管理模式嚇跑了外籍員工，它的極權主義風格甚至對中國員工來說也是很難吃得消，雖然說公司仍然僱傭了超過18萬的勞動力，這可能被稱為是技術型的軍隊。 華為與中興通訊的激烈競爭並不是不為人所知。 我們必須知道，5G在高頻毫米波上運行，並通過發射站，而中國擁有比美國更多的發射站 。 目前，華為正忙於贏得信任，以說服全球5G網絡安全，不會對國家安全問題造成任何問題。任正飛女兒盂晚舟的逮捕只會給盟友帶來進一步的擔憂。
