The human mind is capable of complex systems thinking at the subconscious and unconscious levels. Conscious thinking can only achieve the same feat if it has simulators.

That the US govt has reversed some moves means that it isn't engaged in complex thinking, much as it is a super power with many great brains.

Therefore it is likely that it will lose in all these wars it is waging simultaneously since processing is only getting more intense.

And because other countries are playing black, then they are likely to find niches for serious counter attacks.

Its all about 5G.

The founder of Huawei has said the US “underestimates” the Chinese telecom makers’s strength and that conflict with the US is inevitable in the quest to “stand on top of the world”.

Ren Zhengfei said his company was fully prepared to face US bans on key components following new trade restrictions caused by Donald Trump’s declaration of a national economic emergency last week

“The current practice of US politicians underestimates our strength,” Ren told Chinese media on Tuesday. “Huawei’s 5G will absolutely not be affected. In terms of 5G technologies, others won’t be able to catch up with Huawei in two or three years. We have sacrificed ourselves and our families for our ideal, to stand on top of the world. To reach this ideal, sooner or later there will be conflict with the US.”

Safcom was to "Huawei" 5G in Kenya after the launch of some TubeStar Base Stations.....are we affected by the ban through Vodafone too?

Bob said Safaricom is not driven by what Trump says.

“Our policy as a company is not gonna be driven by Donald Trump. Donald Trump can drive some other stuff but we will make independent decisions,” he said.

“Do we think that Huawei is a very competent service provider? Yes absolutely. Do we have fights with them? Yes, but they have been a very competent and very close partner of ours over many years and I hope will continue to be so.”

The US has relies on brainwashing and propaganda. Beyond it's military might, this is it's second greatest strength.
For years China has resisted this propaganda and westernization of it's citizens and maintained a closed culture, this is a strength.

If they are doing 16% now, what makes you imagine they cant do 100% in a few years and start exporting? If they had purposed to do 40% by 2020, now that someone is stepping on their toes what do you expect? This will be accelerated and the current suppliers will be the losers in 2 or so years.

And with the current pressure, this will be accelerated faster!

Simple, Government cannot be "innovators" and "entrepreneurs", China copies everything and will always lag behind, and it's 8% not 16% and it's copied technology which others care less about like some basic transistors and memory chips with kidogo power. Probably Kenya will move ahead of China, a small country like Israel controls and contributes more to technology than China and will continue to do so forever...even Kenya may leap frog China. What original technology do you use yourself that has originated in China?, copying and developing technology are different things. In the 2020 you are talking about China will be struggling to 'copy' the self driving cars, artificial intelligence and mapping software being developed in other countries, the smart phone market BTW is headed to stagnation and sales are dropping, watu wameshamaliza kulia hapo. BTW i use huawei, i use quality ingco chinese tools in my workshop just as Kenyans we had to settle for SGR because of poverty and ignorance not out of choice e.t.c but i would rather use bosch, makita, Dewalt, craftsman e.t.c they at times copy well and give a good bargain but that's mostly it.

US has temporarily lifted the ban on Huawei. I wonder why...

If that war the case then why then all this worry by the americanos?
