E-commerce policy impact on the UK i-business in the Wake of Huawei Ban by US

This paper aims to analyze how the information of the US ban on Huawei Technologies and the ensuing trade war between the US and China have influenced e-commerce and international business in the UK. The global digital economy is interdependent, and e-commerce-related policy significantly shapes this influence and direction globally. Telecommunication with smartphones and other technologies are driving this change with an impact on international business, specifically the i-business platforms in the UK market. Qualitative analysis is employed here. Interviews with industry experts from the US, China and the UK added value to gain a profound level of indulgence and insights into the subject matter and its associated policy implications. Aspects of e-commerce, trade flows, global value chain, and international business in general are critically evaluated in the review based on what the empirical findings indicate as areas of multi-level impact. E-commerce-related policy analysis is undertaken in this process to make recommendations with the limitations and further scope of the study.
