An example is U.S. promotion of a telecommunications policy called “Open RAN.”21 Under this approach, policy makers are developing common industry standards that foster greater compatibility between different types of 5G equipment. The goal is to prevent Huawei—or any other 5G equipment provider—from dominating global telecommunications infrastructure. American firms (particularly those that make relevant software) would benefit from this approach, but so would Huawei’s competitors in Finland, South Korea, and other countries.
