Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei Technologies, has told the company’s employees to learn from the United States. The official said in a newly published speech that the firm has to remain open and learn to continue to grow in the international markets.
According to a SCMP report, the senior executive of the Chinese tech giant made the statement despite the US having applied pressure through various sanctions on the company. Ren Zhengfei made this statement in a company forum back in May 2021. This speech was published the brand’s internal online forum earlier this week. During this forum, the founder also answered questions from employee representatives.
This includes questions regarding the company’s continues to face under US sanctions that have cut Huawei off from key technologies. In a response to a question if the brand should focus more on the China market due to US sanctions, Ren stated that “Is China a part of the world? Yes. Therefore, our insistence on globalization also includes the domestic market. We cannot be closed. We must stay open.”
The official added that the firm still needs to learn from the US since the country is flexible as well as stronger in both science and technology. Ren further added that “Just because the US is trying to suppress us does not mean we do not recognize it as a teacher. This will lead to isolation.” In other words, Huawei still aims on expanding its presence in the global market.
