I heard that Huawei is struggling to grow because their R&D is lacking.. and they have not come up with any new products that can rival the big boys.. esp. in the Internet routers and switches space.  Last time, Huawei was caught stealing Cisco intellectual property and was sued by them and ultimately their products were banned from being sold in US.  Sometimes, the 'pirate' mentality are still in the old guards of those from communist leadership who have formed this company.. maybe difficult to transform it into a name brand global/multinational organisation.
