Before i decided to reply to this, i didn't plan to defend Huawei any more, because i have done that enough times. But after seeing so many Indians bragged about TATA and belittled Huawei, i said to to myself, why not?
There are 6 major telecom equipments manufacturer in the world, and Huawei is one of them,and more importantly, Huawei ranks the second. And you denied Huawei is a wrold famous brand. I guess you will still deny that if Huawei becomes the first.
Ok then. I will give it to you. Huawei is the best technology company you have. And then.
You are the second largest economy in the world. What else do you have? Come on it cannot stop just there.
Huawei's work has major military inclinations. In a few years India may also reject the European and US systems and go for a whole new indigenous telecommunication system. If you haven't noticed Europe, US and Soviet union have telecommunication systems that vastly differs from each other. This is because neither of them want their systems compromised if they were at war. Because of China's economic capabilities you are able to deliver a new system and also begin work on a 4G system because of the threat of the US compromising and disabling your entire telecom system in just a few days. To prevent that from happening you have to develop your own system instead of buying from outside.
Right now India is at the threat of having its entire civilian communication system being nullified by the US. It cannot be undone by tomorrow. It will require massive funding to the telecom companies by the govt or the military to create a whole new network. And that is what China did with Huawei. If it wasn't for that requirement even Huawei wouldn't have existed as a big entity. It would have been doing back office work for European companies. Why else do you think Huawei is not trusted here? It is a major risk and their only presence in India is down south where China is not a threat.
At the same time US is not a threat to us, so we can use US or even European systems as of now.
When it comes to high-tech sectors, it all depends on the technology. Of course innovation is also important, but technology is the foundation. It is the technology accumulation that gives the birth to Apple, not just innovation. Products like Apple can never be born in China or India, if the two stay where it is in the term of technology. And the accumulation of technology is time-consuming.
Wrong. Products like Apple can be done here. Both our countries have the money to do it. The difference is you don't have a private sector while we do. Neither govt will start a company to challenge Apple or Microsoft. It has to be the private companies.
This was done by a young Indian student in MIT. Check the video and see for yourself what is the meaning of innovation.

It just takes a bright spark to to it. Innovation isn't just for the rich.
It all depends on technology and it comes through innovation or by spending big money. TATA did both. They created the Nano as a home made product and bought Jaguar and Land Rover at the same time. If you cannot innovate then you can buy. They built a brand name doing both.
Microsoft could be founded in USA because American owned the most computers in the world at that time. When Bill Gate set up Microsoft, what were most Chinese and Indians doing? Operating a computer? Most of our families could not even afford a TV set. Do you expect Chinese or Indians to use their magic innovation to build a company like Microsoft at that time?
Silly reason. It did not prevent both our countries coming up with 2 different worlds. One belonging to the rich and one belonging to the poor. It is not your problem, it is your govt's problem to make your people richer. But, why is this stopping the rich people in your country from innovating? Don't tell me they will not do it until everybody in your country becomes rich.
BTW, inventing a car like NANO can not be called innovation.
Really then. Why is it the cheapest car in the world? More importantly, why are all other competitors who want to make the cheapest car can quote a price that is only higher than the Nano. Even the cheaper more cost effective China is not able to deliver a car at the same price.
Did you know that even after creating cars like Ferrari Enzo, Mclaren F1, the F1 cars, Nano is still the most discussed car in the world. It is considered the greatest achievement in automobile history since Ford's T car.
