Huawei's 5G penetration taking over from American 4G

 More than 90 countries use Huawei's 5G equipment or have active commercial contracts globally. 


Deployment and Market Reach

Global Footprint: While early figures from 2019 cited roughly 30 countries, independent tracking and industry estimates place the total number of nations utilizing or contracted with Huawei for 5G well above 90.
 
European Presence: Despite U.S. pressure and targeted bans by countries like the UK, Sweden, and parts of the EU, data shows Chinese vendors still account for nearly a third of 5G sites across major European economies, with countries like Spain, Greece, and others continuing deployments. 

Regional Adoption: High adoption rates persist across parts of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, alongside ongoing industrial 5G enterprise partnerships globally.  Google 

The Americans may have ruled the world with 4G communications. China came from behind and overtook the Americans with 5G. The Americans desperately tried to stop Huawei from deploying 5G across the world but failed miserably. Until today, the Americans and the West are still unable to come up with a 5G that can match Huawei's 5G. They tried to force their allies and cronies to adopt the half baked 4G pretending to be 5G. Some of their allies and silly cronies have been coerced to use this and being left behind in their pursuit of AI and more advanced technology and systems that needed 5G to function, Some like the UK and several EU nations openly continue to use Huawei's 5G while others like the UK deceptively continue to use Huawei's 5G but pretending to follow the American's demand. Several ASEAN states are running ahead in deploying Huawei's 5G, leaving silly American cronies behind.

The Americans have completely given up competing with China in 5G and quietly trying to leapfrog into 6G. Unfortunately Huawei has already put 6G into trial operations in China and would soon be rolling out to the world. The American losers can only look with their mouths wide open and may now have to skip 6G and hoping to come up with an imaginary 7G in the future, like 50 years from now.

The world would not be tied down by the American losers and will run ahead into the future of 6G, but first with 5G in full implementation. The Americans are incapable of even copying what Huawei is doing. 5G will take over from 4G to rule the world.

They could not even do a good job with 5G and wants to leapfrog to 6G? Dismantling those Huawei relaying stations and installing new relay stations already costs so much money and disruptions, that they are almost giving up on 5G and going to 6G.

Huawei holds the bulk of the patents for 5G, and I believe it is still collecting some form of licensing fees from other 5G operators. Huawei may not be allowed to operate in the USA and some other countries like the UK, but Huawei is still collecting patent rights from those operators using Huawei's 5G patents.

China already has a headstart in 6G and probably has registered the bulk of 6G patents.

The real reason the USA keeps Huawei's 5G system out is nothing more than its inability to control Huawei's technology for spying, both on Allies and China in particular. China is not going to use Hauwei's 5G to conduct espionage against China and other countries. 4G is totally redundant in China, so the inability to conduct espionage against China is a National Security Issue for the USA.

Anything that the USA cannot control is a National Security Issue. As I said earlier, the USA is now attempting to remove DeepSeek adoption and usage by civilians, a preview to a total ban later. This is expected, as USA AI giants are unable to compete with DeepSeek in low usage costs after investing an arm and a leg in AI and needs protection. Is this the way to nurture a competitive sector going forward? It is going to produce an uncompetitive environment going forward - a self-destruct move.

Many countries and allies of the USA have come together hoping to make Huawei collapse, which did not happen. Just imagine the resources they expended just to take down one Chinese company. On the contrary, they inadvertently helped to create a monster that they could not keep down.

The same thing will happen with chips, which Huawei is also investing in, and together with SMIC and other Chinese tech entities, will give rise to a competing behemoth that they have never seen before. It is just a matter of time, and the collective West can just continue to rest on their laurels, thinking that Chinese tech can just be brushed aside as mere copycats..

By the time they start to realize their predicament in the chips sector, China would rise to dominate that sector as well, eating their breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have seen that in EVs, shipbuilding, high-speed rails, renewable energy equipment and many other sectors like rare earth.
