The United States has a "concerted strategy" to pressure its allies to shun Chinese tech giant Huawei's 5G network equipment, Eurasia Group analyst Kevin Allison says.
U.S. allies, including the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Japan, are keeping Huawei out.
5G technology will "set the tone for the rest of the 21st century," according to Allison.
The United States is pushing its allies to shut out Chinese tech giant Huawei's 5G networks due to national security concerns as the high-speed technology is set to play a critical role in the 21st century, a Eurasia Group expert said Tuesday.
Japan, Washington's close ally, will reportedly stop buying Huawei and ZTE network equipment for government offices and its military forces. Huawei has also been excluded from providing technology for the core 5G network that's being developed by U.K. telecoms firm BT .
Huawei, in a letter to its suppliers released late Thursday, said that it "strictly complies with all applicable laws and regulations in our global business operations" and added it "is not aware of any wrongdoing (by Meng)."
Allison predicted that the U.S. effort will result in "a split between a 5G network that is built with Chinese technology in some countries, and networks that are built to be free of Chinese technology in other countries."
That echoes the view of former Google top executive Eric Schmidt who said earlier this year that within the next decade there will be two separate internets : one led by the U.S. and the other by China.

That this is even a matter for discussion is amazing.
Huawei has stolen ALL of its technology from other companies, and every single piece of their gear has a backdoor for Chinese state interception.
ALL of it.
How about we reject ALL 5G networking? I for one do not wish to be bathed in microwave radiation everywhere I go. There will be 1 tower every 1,000 feet. No thank you.
Get used to it.
Nothing will stop it.
Thank God for Trump.
Thank God for Trump.
Absolutely correct.
5G is a short ranged bandwidth hog. They’re going to need a transceiver on ever intersection to make it work and nobody will want to see their 5G phone bill(somebody’s got to pay for the thousands of radios and antennas to support it).

>> “How about we reject ALL 5G networking?” <<
Absolutely!
Its insane.

We were told that nothing could stop Hitlery either!
Would you raise prized Thoroughbred horses next to a cell tower? How about 500 feet from a cell “tower broadcasting” in every known range of the microwave bandwidth they wish to? How about raising children within this net of totally unnatural power source. It will be like sleeping with your cell phone under your head and wi-fi on the headboard, and you cannot turn it off.
Maybe we can start to build Faraday cages like those in the ‘50s built bomb shelters.....would be ironic if a lot of folks built to block the latest high speed stuff - and went to fiber and WiFi in their homes.
