By analyzing Huawei’s public statements, U.S. federal documents, news articles, and scholarly articles, the paper examines evidence from both sides of the debate on whether or not Huawei has spied against the U.S. to advance its fifth-generation (5G) technology. In addition, the paper evaluates the global impact of the U.S. government’s actions in response to Huawei’s espionage allegations. Furthermore, the paper proposes the next steps that the U.S. should take to strengthen its high-technology sector and promote its national security interests.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 4.0Huaweieconomic espionagefifth-generation technologycybersecuritynational securityThesis/Dissertation0000-0003-1326-4331
