However, today is so different. Business is being strongly affected by politics.
Huawei, the tech giant, has the most advanced 5G technology created by thousands of bright talents worldwide including in the US. Despite this advangtage plus reasonable price, Huawei has been banned by some of the developped countries led by the US government concerning that such technology may threat national securities as Huawei could leave a back door. This allegation is groundless though, because the devices from Huawei are used in the customers' countries rather than in China where Huawei headquarter is located. In fact, this ban is a business war between Huawei and these countries, although Mr. Ren ZhengFei, the founder of the company, recently indicated that Huawei need do more in innovation by investing over $15 billion to consumate the 5G technology in 2019. His logic is that good and cheap stuff (products) would have been welcome by customers regardless who and where they are. Obviously, Huawei has been more successful in doing so, including in smart phones. Over 200 millions of smart phones were produced in the Huawei's assemblage lines last year.
Business is business, that wants to make more and more money. It does not need be interfered by politics. How to creat such a peaceful business environement is a challenge to all peoples in this uncertain world. The UN or WTO should play a key part in creating a fair competitive world for business that allows the world to become better and to benefit the human beings.
