Huawei confident of bucking headwinds

When the going gets tough, the tough get going is a phrase that I have read often, but never seen in real life. I must confess that I have been proved wrong, judging by the hustle and bustle that is visible every day at the campus in Shenzhen that also doubles up as the headquarters of Chinese telecoms equipment major Huawei Technologies Co.

It has been over one month since the US government fired a salvo against the Chinese company by imposing restrictions on access to US technologies. Despite the constant fusillade since then, Huawei has not only managed to deflect the obstacles, but stand tall and press ahead with its plans.

In Shenzhen, not for once does one get an impression that the company is under a siege. Instead, it is even busier than usual.
