When US senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio in a letter in recent days told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to keep the Chinese technology and telecommunications company Huawei out of its plans to build a new-generation mobile network, they were being presumptuous, a China Daily editorial said.
It is certainly unfair for Huawei to suffer because of man-made market barriers. It is not in the interests of those countries that have long been supplied with Huawei's equipment for telecommunications and neither is it in the interests of normal market competition.
US politicians have gone too far to show any respect to trade rules and principles of international relations. It is interference in that country’s internal affairs, and seems that international rules are only for others to observe, and they do not apply to the US when that is not in its interests.
However, when the US overemphasizes its political bias and puts its own interest before that of the rest of the world, the global economy is in jeopardy and so are normal international relations.
