    I think Huawei 5G was a mini-Sputnik Moment. China leapfrogged the US in a crucial future technology and went global with it. Key difference here is that the US spun up its science and tech sector to try to keep up with the USSR, whereas now the US is just using lawfare and sanctions to keep Chinese 5G from spreading.
