Huawei, China, was the leader a year ago, but fell out of the fifth place due to the strengthening of the US government's empowerment launched in September 2008.With the activation of sanctions, US parts manufacturers, which supply semiconductors and the like, are in effect that all of them can no longer obtain permission from the U.S. Ministry of Commerce.As a result, the production of consumer electronic devices, the largest business for Huawei, has been reduced.The fact that US governments have become unable to install popular U.S. Google apps has become painful.
