Leaded by Trump, Huawei CEO now reaches out to Biden

The founder of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, targeted by US sanctions, on Tuesday called on the Biden administration to ‘a policy of openness’ while wanting to be reassuring about the ‘survival’ of the group, during an interview with the hurry.

Huawei has been blacklisted by the former Trump administration to prevent it from acquiring much-needed US technologies for its phones.

‘We hope that the new administration will have [envers Huawei] a policy of openness that will be beneficial ‘to the United States, said Ren Zhengfei, who created the company in 1987. Huawei is today a global juggernaut.

Present in 170 countries and with 194,000 employees, the firm is at the center of the Sino-American rivalry against a backdrop of trade and technology war and suspicion of espionage. This distrust of the company stems in part from Ren Zhengfei’s military past and his membership in the Chinese Communist Party, which fuel suspicions about the regime’s supposed influence on the group.

Despite US sanctions, the Huawei founder said on Tuesday that he “still hopes to be able to buy large volumes of American materials, components and equipment”. And Mr Ren believes that ‘Huawei’s survivability has increased’ despite pressure from Washington.
