Founding father Huawei Ren Zhengfei asked employees from the Honor sub-unit to keep its struggling supply chain alive. As is well known, Honor will be sold to a new entity called Zhixin New Information Technology in order to continue sourcing components currently restricted by US sanctions.

Reporting from Reuters in Jakarta, Friday (27/11/2020) as is known, the US government said Huawei was a threat to national security. However, the company denied that claim.

“Wave after wave of severe US sanctions against Huawei has made us finally understand, certain American politicians want to kill us, not just correct us,” Ren said.

Ren Zhengfei further revealed that even though Huawei can overcome these difficulties, millions of employees at Honor agents and distributors around the world will lose their jobs when the sales channel dries up.

“We don’t have to drag innocent people into the water just because we suffer,” he said.

Honor-brand smartphones made up 26% of the 51.7 million handsets Huawei shipped in July-September, according to consultant Canalys. Huawei products also include laptops, tablet computers, smart TVs and electronic accessories.

Huawei’s rivals have increased production orders, they anticipate being able to devour the giant’s temporary market share if Huawei is unable to produce new handsets. However, if Honor can continue production, it can maintain market share.

Ren asked Honor to become Huawei’s biggest competitor after this split. He also said that overthrowing Huawei should be their motivational slogan.

“We are your future competitors,” he said. Author / Editor: Fajria Anindya Utami
