Good job on picking one sentence in a 150-minute interview to serve an agenda. No wonder people here say "This doesn't make any sense" -- because it doesn't.
The actual interview contains a lot more information. For example, Ren urged people to not go overly nationalistic, thanked companies in the US for working together, urged people to not blame US companies, explained his thought in detail on recent events, how to attract talents etc.

- EastToWest 7y agoFound a transcript (in Chinese) if people are interested. Warning: very long text -- 20,000 characters in length. https://m.huxiu.com/article/300415.html https://m.huxiu.com/article/300415.html
- pnathan 7y agoIs there a decent translation in English available?
- EastToWest 7y agoI don't think there is a decently translated version. You can try Google translate. Its result is probably good enough for understanding the most important bits.
- A2017U1 7y agoTongue-in-cheek: Isn't Google the exact company meant to bring Huawei down? Is there some sort of checksum for translations?
- OJFord 7y ago> Is there some sort of checksum for translations? Obviously not, no translator would have a job! You only get matching output if you get a matching input, that's a defining property of a checksum. If you could get matching input, i.e. translated texts from different sources, that would mean that not only is translation a completely solved problem, but also that the source and target language were equivalently expressive and neither ambiguous, every word having a 1:1 mapping. That is, they must be the same language, just at most differently different represented.
- A2017U1 7y agoI mean it in the sense that you have the conglomerate at the centre of this storm who is forced into following government orders doing the translation. Whose to say they couldn't give two different people varying translations into English based on the exact same article? It would be an authoritarian governments wet dream.
- majia 7y agoRight after saying “there will be conflict”, Ren said China and the US will eventually hug each other on the “summit of technology” and make contributions to the humanity together.
- throwaway_ndiuf 7y agoI don't want to sound overly pessimistic here, but in my personal experience companies from second and third-world seem to have learned expertly how to exploit the "humanity" angle to outsiders while secretly exploiting their workers internally. Can't say I see this in black and white necessarily, but I strongly suspect these companies (conglomerates of 2nd and 3rd world countries especially, and even their governments) realize this is the vocabulary of the 21st century and are using this to try to continue marketing themselves. EDIT: In no way do I think first-world companies / countries are pure. I just notice this and its impact far more with respect to 2nd and 3rd world.
- majia 7y agoNot saying every word Huawei founder says can be fully trusted. The problem is that his statements are extremely misrepresented.
- abakus 7y agoJust FYI: Huawei is one of the first companies that promoted the "996" schedule. https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU Huawei started the trend of laying off engineers once they reach 35 years old in China.
- mensetmanusman 7y agoThey also recently had an internal bounty program that gave workers promotions/bonuses for any internal trade secrets/inventions they could acquire from western technology companies. That’s the spirit!
