Ren Zhengfei, Huawei founder, says the US ‘cannot crush us’
Hong Kong CNN Business — Huawei’s founder is striking a defiant tone in the face of American attempts to curb the Chinese tech giant’s international reach and prosecute his daughter. “The world needs Huawei because we are more advanced.” Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunications equipment maker, is battling a US-led campaign to persuade American allies to shut the company’s technology out of super-fast 5G networks. Ren, who retains the title of CEO, told the BBC that even if the United States were to persuade more countries to stop using Huawei gear, the company “could just scale things down a bit.” “If the lights go out in the West, the East will still shine,” he said. Ren told the BBC he objects to the US extradition request for his daughter, claiming it’s “politically motivated.” “They may have thought if they arrested her Huawei will fall, but we didn’t fall,” he said. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Monday that Pence’s comments in Munich were “hypocritical, immoral, unfair and bullying.” She reiterated Beijing’s criticism that the US government is aiming “to crack down on Chinese companies’ legitimate rights and interests, fabricating lies and intervening in economic activities by political means.” A potential crack emerged this week in the alliance the United States is trying to build against Huawei.
