52:39 Q&A
Since its founding in Shenzhen, China, in 1987, Huawei has grown into one of the world’s major information and communications technology companies. But its ties to China’s government and military have been regarded by U.S. officials as a potential risk to national security. Latin American and Caribbean countries, however, have embraced the company for the economic and technological benefits it provides.
USIP’s new report “Huawei’s Expansion in Latin America and the Caribbean: Views from the Region” explores some of the key reasons behind the company’s success in Latin America using original interviews with Huawei staff and industry specialists in the region.
Join USIP for a discussion with the report’s author and other experts that will look at the report’s findings and examine the stark contrast between Huawei’s standing in the United States and its neighbors to the south.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
