Shopping for 5G technology should be straightforward for an executive of a profit-seeking enterprise. Huawei’s gear is the best on the market. The company spent US$15.1 billion on research and development in 2018, more than Sweden’s Ericsson AB and Finland’s Nokia Oyj, the other two significant 5G providers, combined. If the Communist Party of China was a benevolent force, Ericsson and Nokia might not be in the game, given that Huawei’s kit is also the cheapest.
“It’s (cheaper), it’s a factor,” Jette said. “With the size of the telecom players in China … they have millions and millions and millions of customers, hundreds of millions of customers, so they operate and manufacture at a scale we won’t ever see in Canada. They play on a different scale. They can manufacture parts at a reduced price.”
But the Chinese regime isn’t a benevolent force.
