Pressure from America helps Huawei grow
"LIKE THE WEATHER TODAY. NICE AND CLEAN." This is what Hu Houkun, vice-chairperson of the Huawei board, said when asked about his views on the condition of Huawei at the company's annual developers' meeting. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:
It has been five months since the United States included Huawei in its "Entity List" and about 10 months since Canada detained Meng Wanzhou, Huawei chief financial officer and daughter of the company's founder Ren Zhengfei. The US administration has given Huawei two three-month "reprieves", though, showing US companies are also affected by Washington's move against the Chinese company.
Although the restrictive measures expose the narrow-mindedness of some US politicians, they have not been able to "contain" Huawei, as the company continues to grow. On Wednesday, the Chinese high-tech giant unveiled the world's fastest artificial intelligence computing platform. It unveiled its first mobile operating system, Harmony, last month.
