How a giant Chinese telecoms firm became mired in political controversy.
IT IS HARD to think of a better reflection of the rise of China than the rise of Huawei. Like China, the firm, which was founded in 1987, began at the bottom of the value chain, reselling telephone-switching gear imported from Hong Kong. Also like China, it was not content to stay there. These days its products -- from smartphones to solar panels -- are sleek, high-tech and competitive with anything its rivals can produce. As a result its revenues have soared, hitting $105bn in 2018. Huawei, and its mother country, have become technological pacesetter in their own right. The firm employs 80,000 people in research and development alone. China filed 53,345 patents in 2018, a hair behind America's 56,142. Of China's, around one in ten came from Huawei alone.
……
While this debate rages in the West, Huawei goes from strength to strength. The firm says it has signed 40 different 5G contracts, more than any of its rivals. It already has a big presence in Africa, Asia and South America. Huawei will see Britain's approval, however qualified and half-hearted, as another feather in its cap. For all its flaws, the firm -- and, therefore, China -- will end up building a great deal of the infrastructure on which the world will increasingly depend.

（仿写）Don't get mired down in your procrastination
It is hard to think of a better metaphor for the procrastination than a quagmire. When we get stunk in the depression of unaccomplishment, it's like being left in an endless and hopeless hole. We're not content to stay there, but more we feel upset about this, more we lost the chance.
Quitting a mire, a firm pivot point is more crucial than anything, no considering how tiny it is.
For example, you've been late to hand in 5 reports to your tutor. Under this circumstance, the easiest one in those 5 will be your first tiny foothold. It could provide you the first step out, and the most of hope for the rest road.
As a result, now you could get start the second report. When you've finished the 4th, you're a hair hehind the champion. Finally, you will become the pacesetter of your job, and become another feather in your tutor's cap.
No matter how much jobs your boss pouring on you, you'll kill them one by one. Without much doubt this means that you end up killing your procrastination.
