At a time of global power contest between the United States (US) and China, Huawei has become emblematic of the political risks to firms. New technologies are a key battleground between the two major economies and the leading role of Huawei in Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks and other technologies of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution – and the national security implications – have placed the firm in the firing line of US sanctions. This business case study raises questions about identifying, assessing and managing cyber risks, likely European bandwagoning with the US in its strategic competition with China, the global governance of new technologies, potential decoupling of technological value chains and the impacts on businesses from all countries.
