Can the US Counter Huawei’s Normalcy?

The Diplomat  

Ads for Huawei smartwatches are ubiquitous across Tokyo this spring, with the latest model promising better record-keeping and ultimately better performance for the wearer on the green. Japan has already aligned itself with Washington’s staunch position against the proliferation of Huawei over the years, which first began with the United States banning the company from bidding for U.S. government contracts in 2014. Most advanced economies in the world have followed the United States’ lead to take steps against Huawei, if not ban the company altogether. It is noteworthy that Japan – a country that is coordinating closely with the United States on export controls against China and is in alignment regarding the threat posed by Beijing’s abuse of data – is still a market for the latest Huawei products. As the United States steps up efforts to coordinate on protection critical technologies together with Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan in particular, it will be vital for Washington to continue to win the public opinion war too, to ensure that differences in perceptions about the threat China poses to national security and economic expansion do not become too wide.
