The U.S. sanctions on Huawei, particularly during the Trump administration, have significantly shaped the global cybersecurity landscape, intensifying the challenges faced by the Chinese tech giant. “We faced tremendous headwinds in new deals because of alleged trust issues,” explained Dr. Aloysius Cheang, Huawei’s President of Cybersecurity & Privacy Protection and Chief Security Officer for the Middle East and Central Asia in an interview with Daryo's Tawney Kruger at the Cyber Security Summit in Tashkent. “They were using cybersecurity as a weapon against us,” he added, emphasizing how Huawei became a central figure in the U.S.-China trade war.
Under the Trump administration, the U.S. pushed a paradigm of “trusted and untrusted vendors,” often placing Huawei in the latter category.
“The Trump administration had pushed out a trusted and untrusted vendor paradigm,” the Huawei executive explained.
This narrative led to initiatives such as the 5G Clean Network, which sought to exclude Huawei from playing any role in global 5G infrastructure. “They have the 5G clean power thing they were pushing,” he remarked, underscoring the U.S. government’s efforts to block Huawei from participating in critical telecommunications networks worldwide.
