China is actively challenging the U.S. dominance in the undersea cable industry, which is crucial for global communications, carrying over 95% of the world's data. Despite U.S. sanctions, Chinese companies like Wuhan FiberHome International Technologies and HMN Tech are pushing forward with their own technologies to build these cables. HMN Tech, also known as Huawei Marine Networks, has been particularly successful in constructing projects at low prices for developing countries. The world's undersea cables cost billions of dollars each to install. This move is part of China's broader strategy to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on foreign technologies in critical infrastructure.
