Highlights
- Washington's wariness about Huawei will prevent the Chinese company from making inroads in the United States, but it will continue to expand elsewhere, including Europe.
- Despite pressure applied by Washington on U.S. companies to steer clear of Huawei, it will remain an important partner for giants like Google.
- If the United States applies pressure tactics against Huawei, Beijing could interpret the move as an attack against itself.
