Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei made his first appearance in international media in over a year and crushed any remaining rumors that his company was looking to sell its smartphone business.

Ren Zhengfei also expressed his willingness to meet personally with reigning US President Joe Biden and highlight the mutual benefits of bilateral trade between US companies and Huawei.
“Allowing US companies to supply goods to Chinese customers is conducive to their own financial performance. If Huawei’s production capacity increased, it would mean that US companies could sell more. It’s a win-win situation.
I believe the new administration will weigh and balance these interests when reviewing its policies. We still hope to be able to purchase a large number of American components, parts and machinery so that American businesses can also grow with the Chinese economy. “- Ren Zhengfei
In addition, the CEO of Huawei said that his company “does not have the energy to get involved in this political whirlwind” and believes that the development of Huawei’s 5G network is essential for all major players from smartphones to the future.
By the way, Zhengfei proclaimed Apple’s iPhone 12 as “the world’s best smartphone” and praised Cupertino’s success in the smartphone world. He also mentioned that Huawei has built a 5G infrastructure to power some networks in Europe where high-end customers use their 5G iPhones in an effort to show the importance of cooperation with Huawei.
