Huawei is a quintessential component and prime beneficiary of China’s grand strategic Belt and Road Initiative. Huawei’s expansion profoundly transforms global political economic order beyond technology. Its 5G enables China to transcend its economic model into data capitalism, and delivers China’s vision as a global AI superpower by 2030. Huawei’s foremost presence across the developing world will drive economic take-offs for the regions against the industrial economies for the first time since the global development disparity was created by the Industrial Revolution. The digital Iron Curtain also falls on Huawei, separating future digital global order into a digital authoritarian bloc and a digital democratic bloc. Tech Sinica, a China-centric digital global order contrived on Huawei’s digital infrastructure, will deploy China’s digital power as its means, and achieve China’s economic predominance and authoritarian political stability as its parallel ends.
