"Chinese players have come a long way from being technology adopters to technology drivers. This is visible in smartphones and developing wireless standards. Huawei is at par with global players and is even ahead of Microsoft, Apple Intel, and others, in terms of R&D spends. Moreover, Huawei has gained essential patents in 5G and is a big influencer in the 3GPP. Huawei's 2018 R&D budget accounted for 14% of its revenues, second largest after Alphabet. With the growing might of the companies in China (Asia), more voices will rise against them as the balance of power shifts towards the east." – Parv Sharma
