Paul Evans, a professor at the University of British Columbia, said the ban on Huawei's 5G network is just "the tip of a very large iceberg in the chilly waters of techno-nationalism".

英属哥伦比亚大学教授保罗•埃文斯表示，对华为5G网络的禁令只是“技术民族主义冰冷海水中的冰山一角”。

Evans said that U.S. techno-nationalism is about maintaining "maximum spectrum dominance" in sectors ranging from telecommunications and artificial intelligence to biomedicine. "I think American techno-nationalism now involves restrictions and limitations on a variety of Chinese partners in areas including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biomedicine, et cetera. Huawei is not the end of the battle. It is just the first stage of what could be a full techno-nationalism competition,” Evans said.
