Tech executives call for greater bilateral trust

Senior tech executives on Friday called for an open, cooperative and win-win approach to embrace 5G technologies while underlining the fact more efforts are needed to build trust between China and the United States.

Li Zixue, the chairman of ZTE Corp, a major Chinese telecom equipment maker, said at a panel discussion of the New Economy Forum in Beijing that 5G technologies will reshape a wide range of sectors and bring changes to global telecom supply chains.

"Only with an open mindset and building our core competence in an open environment, we can survive the fierce competition," Li said. At such a critical period, it is of utmost importance to entertain an open attitude.
