On U. S. Hegemony over the Communications Industry from the Perspective of Offensive Realism

The evolution of international relations has proven that the rise of hegemony is closely related to its progress in technological industries. Each time the communication technology is upgraded, the hegemony of existing powers will be challenged and the world political order will be reshaped. In recent years, Huawei’s advanced 5G technology has become the industry benchmark worldwide, raising concerns in the US about its national interests. Under such circumstances, the United States has taken a series of measures to block and clamp down on Huawei. The paper aims to examine the real purpose of America’s ban on Huawei based on the offensive realism theory that shapes America’s foreign policies in recent years and finally analyzes the ban’s impact on Northeast Asia.
