It’s hard to think of a company under more scrutiny than Huawei, or one more poised for rapid growth as 5G comes online. It’s also hard to know what to think about the company. Is it, as its local CTO for the device business Akhram Mohamed told me, concerned more with improving society and humanity than with profitability? Or, as the US ambassador to the United Kingdom, maintains, akin to ‘letting a kleptomaniac move into your house?’

What is clear is that most countries can’t function without Huawei. It’s the top holder of patents, and is a leader in 5G. In fact, it’s hard to think of doing 5G without the company.
