Former US President Trump's foreign policy often kept observers guessing. But one aspect of the vaguely-defined "Trump Doctrine" is clear: confrontation with China. Perhaps no company has suffered more from this breakdown in relations between the two economic giants than Huawei, a leading provider of mobile broadband equipment.

But as we explain in a new research note, the global campaign against Huawei did not start in 2017, and is not limited only to the United States.

Countries and companies that do not associate with Chinese companies are certified by the US State Department as having “Clean Networks”.

Our new research note The unravelling story of Huawei equipment bans, includes a table that sets out these measures across 40 countries.
