With global pushback against Huawei, India needs to revisit old arguments against the company.

The arrest of a top executive of a Chinese company in Vancouver last week marks the sharpening contest between Washington and Beijing for leadership in such new areas as artificial intelligence, robotics and synthetic biology. The immediate focus is on fifth-generation wireless technologies that promise to transform digital connectivity in the next few years.
The US, which has maintained a massive technological lead against other major powers through much of the 20th century, is now concerned that China is catching up. Losing the technological leadership to Beijing, Washington knows, will begin to undermine America’s global primacy in the 21st century.
The detention of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei, highlights this emerging conflict over technology and the difficulty of sustaining the trade deal between the two countries announced with some fanfare last week when President Donald Trump met President Xi Jinping on the margins of the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.


India will not be unaffected by the technology war between America and China. As Washington goes after Huawei, the crown jewel of China’s technology companies, Delhi’s own exposure to the company will come under scrutiny
