Chinese companies are facing increasingly skeptical attitudes from the US government and the only solution is to develop unique and irreplaceable products and technology, experts told the Global Times on Sunday.
There has been growing resistance to Chinese investment in the US recently, particularly related to the telecom sector. On January 9, the US Congress proposed a bill in which it said that US government systems Cory Spangenberg Jersey , particularly those in sensitive areas, should not include equipment made by Huawei or ZTE Corp, two leading Chinese telecom giants, according to the govtrack website.
The bill would also ban US government contractors, especially those working on contracts for sensitive US programs Wil Myers Jersey , from including Huawei or ZTE equipment in their systems.
According to the bill, Huawei is considered to be one of the Chinese companies that is ""subject to (Chinese) State influence"" despite its claim to be independent.
Neither Huawei nor ZTE responded to requests for an interview by the Global Times on Sunday.
Huawei's business expansion in the US has also met other obstacles recently. On January 9, US telecom firm American Telephone & Telegraph (AT&T) dropped a planned deal to sell Huawei's smartphones in the US. According to a Reuters report on January 9, the deal failed because of pressure from the US government.
Huawei said that it had ""proved its competitiveness"" by launching high-end products in the US and other overseas markets, according to a statement it sent to the Global Times last Tuesday.
Huawei also noted that it would continue to launch new products in the US market.

""The US government's cautious position on Huawei dates back to 2004 when it stood by the US-based Cisco in its patent infringement lawsuit against Huawei Dave Winfield Jersey ,"" he said.
The Reuters report on January 9 also noted that Huawei and ZTE were the subjects of a US investigation in 2012 into whether their products provided an opportunity for foreign espionage.
Firms need unique products
Liu Dingding, an independent tech analyst, said that the US government's hostility toward Chinese firms has intensified since US President Donald Trump took office, as Trump has been taking measures to exclude overseas investment in order to protect and prop up companies in the US.
""This [prejudice from the US government against Chinese companies] seems like a problem that can't be solved, at least not in the short term Tony Gwynn Jersey ,"" Liu Xingliang said.
Chinese companies, especially high-tech firms, have struggled to make headway in the US market so far, Liu Dingding said. According to the Reuters report, Huawei currently has a share of just 0.5 percent of the US smartphone market in terms of shipments San Diego Padres Jersey , far below South Korean brand Samsung (18
