Huawei: Rises After US Ban

Christine Tan from CNBC sits down with Huawei’s founder and CEO, Ren Zhengfei, to discuss the company’s attitude and response in the wake of being placed on the U.S. Entity List. How did the company’s leaders feel? Has the ban seriously affected international business? How is the company restructuring in order to thrive, moving into the future?

[@user-nr2dv6yt4k]

This is one of the real GREAT men the world ever has!

[@RiceballRox]

The generation of Mr. Ren, and the generations before them had made tremendous sacrifice to our country. They have carried all the weights for us and time and time again showed us what patriotism actually look like. All of they do is to provide a better life to their children and to their people. I didn’t know much about Huawei and was very apolitical before Trump and what is happening in HK even on our national day.(I just didn’t believe in good governments east or west) But now with all of the biased informations blatantly showing up in my feed, it forced me to look more into it and see why a company would be under such controversy, and I see how the west is misunderstanding China, misrepresenting China and its government, and attacking its companies with no solid ground... after more and more researching, I am growing more and more in love with my country. And I am growing to be very proud of it, and Huawei, because I can see it’s such a large company with spirit and soul! I used to love China only for its profound traditional knowledge, kind and hard working people, and the arts and culture... now I love the government as well. I have misunderstood it for a long time. I misunderstood what actually happened on 1989 June 4th, I misunderstood why the country banned so many internet companies which appeared to be giving us less freedom to the outside world. I misunderstood what freedom should be represented as! I never believed in the western format of democracy, but now, I actually believe the Chinese leadership system is a superior one for society. Like Mr. Ren, China’s leaders had always held their vision and ideology, and they have always been leading its people to strive for a better life, not allowing others to undermine the big picture!

[@RiceballRox]

BoringPet also there were hundreds of western media in Tiananmen Square at the time, there were documents clearly showing their presence and their faces, however, there was not a single picture of tanks ranging over students or murdering in the square that was being captured...why? Because there was none. You have been fed many fabricated lies about China.

[@BoringPet]

ZhenZhen Li I can search for and find hundreds of pictures and video taken by said western media on that day. I will post in a separate comment a few links. KZbin doesn’t take too kindly to posting links though, so they may be removed. I would encourage you to purchase a VPN and browse that way. Pictures of the killings are easy to find here in the United States. And there is significant talk of the Chinese Government censoring the images of bodies in web searches on Tiananmen Square.

[@RiceballRox]

BoringPet and here’s a video produced by the Taiwanese, but you can see how the student leaders are acting. Maybe you should invite a chinese friend to translate it for you. This video was supposed to be condemning the Chinese government, but the Chinese people are spotting exactly the opposite.

[@bogieman8]

BoringPet there is a documentary call Peace in a Heavenly Gate, watch that and tell me where was the students died because they were ran over by tanks. In fact that documentary showed Chai Ling, one of the student leader, lied and mislead about the final hour of the incident. Also the part where the Taiwanese singer who stayed till dawn, his account. Remember Chai Ling ran, while most of the rest stayed behind. In addition, Wikileaks document has revealed on Tiananmen. Was there death during the protest, Yes. Was there death inside the square, No. Those that got killed were outside the square, mainly local Beijinger who tried to block the army from entering the square.

[@bogieman8]

Test these are facts people who have the intention to mislead will leave out. What is even unfortunate is, the perception of China has blinded people to even give a chance to see the other part of the story. Adding to the problem, people with skewed perception will use the “western standards” to judge China in everything they do even further.

Wow, this man is focused, composed, vision-minded, sharp and intelligent. I've watched his previous media briefings, he was also calm. At Even at this interview, when the interviwer asked him about his imprisoned daughter in Canada, he still maintained his composure and seemed to brighten up instead (probably because he enjoys talking about his daughter) of worry about what the case results may be. A great leader indeed. He is a real threat to competitors (not a security threat as according to Trump). Huawei has already shown superior technological advancement and breakthrough in technology under his leadership and can only go further up despite the U.S. ban. It does make one wonder if the ban was really about the so-called 'security threat' or just malice over the company's success. I guess, in time we will find out.
