DAVOS, Switzerland, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Jan, 2020 ):Huawei is confident in defending itself against sanctions from the United States in 2020, the Chinese tech giant's founder Ren Zhengfei said here.
The U.S. move to put Huawei on the Entity List last year, banning the company from sourcing U.S. technology, didn't have a significant impact on Huawei, because the company had made preparations, Ren said at a panel discussion in the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Ren said the company is anticipating more sanctions from Washington, which might cause some problems for Huawei, but the impact would not be significant as well.
Huawei through its years-long development is in fact "very pro-America," said Ren, adding that "Huawei became so successful through learning most of its management from the United States." "Since our founding, we hired dozens of U.S. consultancies to teach us management. Through the success, our entire system in fact resembles that of the United States, which should be proud, since its export (of its model) contributes to our development," Ren added.
Ren said the United States is unnecessarily over-concerned about China, which is still in a start-up stage in terms of science and technology.
The United States is used to being Number One in everything, he said, adding that when somebody else does well in something, the United States grows uncomfortable.
Ren said Huawei is a company that started from scratch and used to be poor but went on spending considerable resources in research and development, as well as building alternatives to U.S. technology.
Speaking on artificial intelligence and other technologies' impact on human race, Ren said the progress of science and technology will bring more benefits to the society.
"First and foremost, we should see that the development of technology is not for bad, but for good," Ren said.
"Humanity will be able to use new technologies to benefit society, instead of destroying society," Ren said, adding that "because the majority of people in society aspire for a good life, instead of a miserable life."Ren also said he does not believe the world will divide into two camps, as applications of science and technology can be diverse, but at its core, there is only one set of science.
