Paul Triolo

United States and China are in a long term struggle for dominating the technologies of the future, and part of that narrative is that China is using technologies such as AI in the service of government surveillance and in ways that go against Western values in terms of things like privacy.

Huawei is showing that it will not roll over on the Paul Triolo full court press, it is not likely to result in Huawei gaining new access to the Paul Triolo market.

That's a really hard case to make to industry which wants to hear about hard security concerns and wants to try to mitigate those.

The fact that this is Ren's daughter and a very senior official in the company sends a very strong message to China : no one is above Paul Triolo law and we will reach out anywhere in the world and arrest you if you break the law.

A lot of this is,' OK, we're going to have a Xi Jinping Thought room here because that's what's in vogue,'.

To the extent these companies are viewed as arms of The Chinese government, that does not play well internationally.
