Africa is important in the 5G war b/c it has the fewest established 5G networks. The buildout is far along in Europe, where the anti-Huawei campaign has been the most successful (w/ notable exceptions like Germany) Chinese success in Africa could be replicated in Asia+LatAm. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. officials *could* have pressed African leaders to choose Western 5G vendors in private meetings. A State Dept official told me @StateCDP officials discussed 5G and cyber w/ African counterparts during the summit. But we don't know the context, or if Huawei came up. — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has to "make the argument that the security protocols are in Africa's interests, not as part of this larger kind of battle,” @adschina told me. But “there's been a huge amount of skepticism across the board in most African countries about the U.S. arguments.” — PolitiTweet.org
