      It's a hard problem when, as you can clearly see even reading western news, companies like Huawei are uniquely targeted by international trading partners like the Failed States and its subject nations with sanctions and boycotts. For example, it had to spin off its smartphone brand Honor and reform it as a capitalist company so it could continue selling phones in the west with Google enabled. This was a terrible sacrifice but they did it to keep the people working in that division employed.

        The great virtue of the existing Chinese state is that it allows for firms like this to exist, and it is demonstrable that, like in the old cliche a nation of free people can beat a nation of slaves, a company of free people can beat a company of slaves, even in the arena of the market that capitalists worship. The state pushing for it is hardly required, the state only needs to allow its possibility. Unfortunately China exists in a world of states hell bent on preserving the notion that democracy will always lose to dictatorship in market competition, and they manipulate the rules of the game to make it seem that way.
