		</div><p>Chinese tech giant Huawei has said it would have become the world’s number one smartphone maker by the year’s end if it were not for “unexpected” circumstances.</p>
<p>Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Shanghai, Huawei’s chief strategist Shao Yang, said: <em>“If we had not encountered anything unexpected, we would have become number one in the world by the fourth quarter. But now we have to wait a little bit longer to achieve that.”</em></p>
<p>While President Donald Trump and his trade war with China was not directly referred to, the comment is widely understood as a hint that pressure from the US is hurting the company’s sales.</p>
<p>Washington last month put Huawei on a blacklist that effectively bars US firms from selling to the firm without government approval.</p>
<p>[pull_quote_center]&#8221;Those who are not brave will not progress, they will lag behind&#8221;[/pull_quote_center]</p>
<p>The action was part of a broader trade dispute between China and the US, which has accused Chinese technology companies such as Huawei of stealing trade secrets and threatening cyber security.</p>
<p>While Huawei has denied it would share user secrets with China’s ruling Communist Party, Mr Trump is on a mission to persuade US allies to exclude Huawei equipment from next-generation 5G mobile networks.</p>
<p>Mr Shao said the company will march on in its development of the technology.</p>
<p><em>“People see 5G, but we see beyond that,”</em> he said. <em>“Those who are not brave will not progress, they will lag behind. So everything that we do is to define our direction in the new round of competition.”</em></p>
