“We decided that we would never sell our consumer devices and our smartphone business.”
Ren Zhengfei, the founder and CEO of Huawei, said that Huawei would survive the sanctions imposed by Donald Trump and look forward to a resumption of relations with the United States after new President Joe Biden comes to power.
Huawei believes in new US president and will never sell smartphone division
Joe Biden took over as head of the White House last month. Huawei now expects the new US president to improve relations between the two countries and American and Chinese companies. Ren Zhengfei said Huawei remains determined to buy equipment from US companies and that restoring Huawei’s access to US goods is mutually beneficial. Also, he suggests the restrictions on the Chinese tech giant are hurting US suppliers.
We hope that the new US administration will pursue an open policy for the benefit of American firms and the United States’ economic development. We still wish to purchase large quantities of American materials, components, and equipment so that we can all benefit from China’s growth.

The company leader also denied information that Huawei is going out of the smartphone business: “We decided that in no case would we sell our consumer devices and our smartphone business.”
The company will unveil the flagship foldable smartphone Huawei Mate X2 on February 22, and the Huawei P50 is expected to be announced in March.
