Home » Smart Sectors » Telecom » Huawei Reveals Telecom Growth Strategy at MWC Shanghai
During MWC Shanghai 2025, Huawei revealed four strategic pathways to support telecom growth amid increasing market maturity and stagnating revenue.
Eric Xu, Huawei's Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman, addressed industry leaders in a keynote speech. He acknowledged that while telecom has grown rapidly for decades, the sector now faces slower development as basic consumer needs are largely met in major markets.
Xu outlined four approaches to drive sustainable growth.
• He highlighted high-value user segments, such as food delivery riders and livestreamers. For example, delivery riders grew from 30 million in 2020 to 70 million in 2024, with projections reaching 160 million by 2030. These users consume more data and minutes, with ARPU 1.6 times higher than average.
• Xu reported that livestreaming professionals now number around 50 million, up from 10 million in 2022, and may reach 130 million by 2030. These users consume five times more data and produce four times more ARPU than average.
Next, Xu addressed video consumption. He noted that although video accounts for 50% of mobile traffic, high-definition video usage remains low. In top-tier Chinese cities, only 22% of mobile video traffic is 1080p or higher. He called for ecosystem collaboration with content providers, device makers, and equipment vendors to overcome pricing and technical barriers.
Xu also discussed 5G-connected vehicles. He noted that only 30% of new cars sold in China by 2025 are expected to support 5G. He urged industry players to work together to reduce costs, especially those related to IP rights and T-Box components.
He proposed a dual-connectivity model B2C for cockpit functions and B2B for T-Box systems. He emphasized that autonomous vehicles must operate independently without network reliance.
Lastly, Xu revealed potential in expanding Fiber to the Room (FTTR) to small and micro businesses. He said over 500 million such businesses worldwide face challenges like poor Wi-Fi and limited connectivity. FTTR, already used by 75 million in China, could meet these needs. In contrast, only 500,000 FTTR users exist globally outside China.
Xu concluded by emphasizing tailored strategies: each carrier must identify its own path based on unique market and competitive conditions. He stated that Huawei is ready to support carriers in building long-term, sustainable growth strategies.

OneClik Campaign Exploits ClickOnce to Breach Energy Sector
Trellix's Advanced Research Center has uncovered a highly targeted Advanced Persistent Threat malware campaign, named OneClik, focused on entities within the energy, oil, and gas sectors. The attackers employ sophisticated phishing lures and exploit Microsoft ClickOnce, deployment tool, to execute malware under the guise of trusted applications. This campaign exhibits hallmarks consistent with Chinese-affiliated threat actors, according to the researchers. Phishing emails played a central role in initial access, directing recipients to a camouflaged 'hardware analysis' site. Visitors are prompted to install a ClickOnce application, which transparently downloads a loader. This loader utilises AppDomainManager hijacking, settings to inject a rogue DLL at runtime. By operating under it achieves stealthy code execution without triggering user account controls. The operation's modularity is evident in its three known variants—v1a, BPI-MDM, and v1d—all of which deploy loader, 'OneClikNet,' to deliver a Go‑based backdoor named 'RunnerBeacon.' Communication with command‑and‑control servers occurs via legitimate AWS services such as CloudFront, API Gateway, and Lambda, complicating attribution and detection. ADVERTISEMENT Researchers traced an earlier variant of the RunnerBeacon loader to a Middle Eastern oil and gas target in September 2023, suggesting the campaign has persisted for at least nine months. The clustering of infrastructure and code suggests a long‑term espionage focus on critical energy sector infrastructure. OneClik typifies the 'living off the land' tactic trend among APT actors, embedding malicious activity within legitimate system processes. By co‑opting ClickOnce workflows, the actors evade conventional security checks and minimise forensic footprints. The use of AppDomainManager hijacking—aligned with MITRE's T1574.014 technique—illustrates both creativity and sophistication. Operational resilience is tailored into each variant. Anti‑analysis safeguards such as anti‑debugging loops and sandbox escape routines indicate a degree of maturation across successive iterations. Furthermore, by leveraging AWS-hosted C2 infrastructure, each variant masks communications behind widely trusted cloud domains. Trellix has not publicly named specific organisations but indicates that the campaign spans multiple countries and facilities in the energy domain. The attack chain—from phishing to ClickOnce deployment, loader injection, and backdoor communication—illustrates a fully developed espionage suite with lateral movement and data exfiltration capabilities. While the activity has been linked to Chinese-affiliated actors, attribution remains cautious. Analysts point to overlapping techniques with earlier campaigns, including AppDomainManager abuse and cloud‑based C2 obfuscation, which demonstrate a persistent, strategic push into energy sector espionage. The growing popularity of living‑off‑the‑land techniques highlights a broader shift in APT methodology: adversaries are increasingly embedding within legitimate enterprise ecosystems, evading sandbox detection and legacy cybersecurity measures. OneClik's use of ClickOnce is a prime example of tool abuse—repurposing software deployment mechanisms as vectors for stealth attacks. Effective detection of emerging variants will require advanced behavioural analysis and cloud traffic monitoring. Security teams are advised to scrutinise unusual ClickOnce manifest downloads, monitor processes for anomalous activity, and adopt isolation techniques for installations. Deep packet inspection combined with endpoint detection of loading behaviours may also help identify lateral movement attempts using RunnerBeacon. The disclosure of OneClik, aligned with rising living‑off‑the‑land APT operations, marks a pivotal moment for industrial cybersecurity. By weaponising trusted deployment frameworks, threat actors are escalating their ability to remain undetected within critical infrastructure for extended periods. As such, collaborative threat intelligence, updated detection strategies, and heightened phishing resilience are imperative to combat these stealth campaigns.
