... I mean, if this were the case, Huawei would have a monopoly, and no reason to bribe anybody. Like, put a _bit_ of thought into this stuff; your claim cannot possibly be correct.

For what it's worth, the UK, having banned Huawei stuff, is currently ripping out their Huawei 5G gear and replacing it with largely equipment from Ericsson.

Huawei did have a monopoly.

They were bribing officials to try to get them to not ban them in the great Huawei wars of the late 2010's / early 2020's - which led to the UK banning Huawei at the behest of the US for political reasons.

Huawei clearly doesn't and didn't have a monopoly; in 2022 before the bans really got going it had about a 30% market share, vs Ericsson 25% and Nokia 20%.
