U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Feb. 6 urged the United States to quickly find an alternative to leading Chinese 5G supplier Huawei, saying the nation’s future prosperity depended on it.
The country and its allies have a five-year window—the time within which global 5G dominance will be determined—to launch a viable competitor to Huawei and counter China’s leadership in the next-generation wireless technology, Barr said at a Washington conference on Feb. 4 on the Department of Justice’s efforts to combat Chinese threats.
