good luck competing with 0% tax state-sponsored companies without venture capital. The same reason there is no european huawei. There are some medium sized companies, but they don't have the same advantages as those in the US or China

I thought all the competitors to Huawei were European. They keep telling us that's the problem. (Apparently we need to be more closely aligned to America than Europe.)
