The US is increasing its pressures on the Chinese tech and telecom giant, Huawei. A month prior, new US sanctions cut off its chip supply from TSMC and now, it seems that the US is planning on funding more regions to choose 5G telecom equipment from Huawei’s rivals.
Previously, we had reported on the US funding telecom operators in Brazil to choose Huawei’s competitors in the market to build their 5G infrastructure. As the world moves towards the newer and faster bandwidth, the Chinese company has come under intense scrutiny from the west, despite being a pioneer in 5G networking.

According to an American official, the United States will also help other countries finance purchases of 5G telecom gear from western alternatives rather than Huawei, who it deems as a security threat due to alleged ties to the Chinese government. The Chinese company has played a major role in developing the 5G infrastructure in many regions, which was possible due to its lower cost equipment.
Huawei had planned on expanding in Europe, the UK, and other regions as well. However, its efforts have been facing increasing obstacles, with the US pressuring regions like the UK against the adoption of 5G networking gear from the company. Although, Huawei has denied these security related allegations from the US.
