read up on the Huawei CEO interview. They won't compete over tech where they don't feel to be a technical market leader. In 5G they claim to be 2-3 years ahead, so they will fight for it and think they have a good chance of winning even if competed against. But for smartphones apparently they don't feel strong enough, so they'll happily sacrifice it instead of competing.
The problem with competition is, although it's good for the consumer, it hurts the business. So if you have to choose between battling for number one or getting reduced from number 2/3 to number 10, the latter might be the cheaper option. And then you can use the saved resources to compete in the fight that really matters.
That's fighting spirit. I wish in the west we could see any of this. Instead we see bickering on all political fronts.
