Speak of the devil, Japan suddenly slanders Huawei!

The Japanese Kyodo News reported on March 12 that sources revealed on the 11th that the Japanese government had warned Japanese companies that actively supported Ukraine's reconstruction, claiming that using Huawei's 5G mobile communication system posed a risk of technical or sensitive information leakage. It also cited the fact that Huawei is a target of U.S. sanctions, and from the perspective of economic security, it took an unusual measure to hinder Huawei's layout in Ukraine.

This sudden farce is not merely about security concerns but rather anger after technological failure, political speculation relying on U.S. hegemony, and a well-packaged trade protectionist farce.

Japan's actions may seem justified at first glance, but they are full of loopholes. It should be noted that Japan's communications industry has already failed in the 5G race. NEC burned hundreds of millions of RMB in R&D investment and finally announced the suspension of development of 4G and 5G wireless base stations.

In the global 5G base station market, Huawei, Ericsson, and Nokia have divided a large share of the market, and Japan as a whole is insignificant. Lacking technological competitiveness, it tries to use political suppression for "small moves," which is a typical case of being unable to accept defeat.

Looking back at history, the U.S. sanctions against Huawei have lasted for years. In May 2019, the U.S. added Huawei to the "Entity List" and imposed strict export controls, prohibiting U.S. companies from selling technology and equipment to Huawei.

Later, it kept increasing the pressure, imposing huge fines on companies supplying Huawei. Japan's recent smear campaign is nothing more than a loyal follower of U.S. "technological hegemony," trying to delay China's communication technology development by grouping together and maintaining its already shaky technological hegemony.

This time, the Japanese government warned Japanese companies under the guise of "supporting Ukraine's reconstruction," but in reality, it had ulterior motives. As a battlefield, Ukraine's communication infrastructure reconstruction is crucial. Huawei, with its mature 5G technology and rich global deployment experience, can provide efficient and secure communication solutions for Ukraine.

Japan, however, is trying to interfere with normal commercial cooperation and hinder Ukraine's reconstruction process. Essentially, it is using the name of "security" to implement the real goal of containing Chinese technology. This approach not only violates international commercial rules but also harms Ukraine's interests, fully exposing its self-serving nature.

In fact, the security of Huawei's 5G equipment has been widely recognized globally. Huawei's 5G Security White Paper details industry standards, its own security practices, and customer assurance mechanisms.

On privacy protection, Huawei has always been transparent, publicly disclosing methods of information processing and privacy protection policies to regulatory authorities, customers, and consumers. The Japanese government ignores these facts and smears Huawei based solely on subjective assumptions, which is clearly politically motivated without evidence.

Japan's actions may seem formidable at first, but they are ultimately futile. Huawei has long since developed strong capabilities in the face of international pressure. Not only has it broken through the chip blockade, releasing the "pride phone" with domestically produced chips, but it has also continued to expand in the global market, with the number of 5G base stations deployed ranking among the world's top.

Trying to contain Huawei through political means will not stop the development of China's communication technology. Instead, it will expose Japan's own shortcomings in technological backwardness and further damage its international image.

In the era of globalization, technological competition should follow market rules and fair principles, speaking with technical strength rather than political suppression and trade protectionism. Japan's smear campaign against Huawei is essentially a desperate move after technological failure and a short-sighted act of relying on U.S. hegemony.

This approach not only violates international commercial ethics but also hinders the healthy development of global communication technology. Believe that in the face of facts, Japan's smear comments will eventually fall apart, and Huawei will continue to steadily advance in the global market with its solid technology and good reputation.

The Japanese government should recognize reality, abandon Cold War thinking and zero-sum mentality, stop political manipulation, and return to the track of fair competition. Only in this way can it truly promote the development of its own communication industry and contribute to global communication technology cooperation.

Following the U.S. hegemony blindly, implementing technological blockades and political suppression, will ultimately end up kicking the bucket, becoming a laughingstock on the international stage. What do you think about this?
