An intervention at the hands of the head of Huawei was expected, and so it has been. Ren Zhengfei, founder and president of the brand, has made an appearance before the Chinese media to explain how they are experiencing the crisis with the United States internally and how they intend to overcome it.
Temper and naturalness
The top leader of Huawei has declared before the media and has left phrases that will certainly make more than one think. Far from turning the tables on the United States with accusations and victimization, Zhengfei has come to the fore with quite natural interventions and being quite polite.
has thanked the alliances that they have had with the American companies during all these years, indicating that without them Huawei would not be where it is now. In addition, he wanted to be very clear with the prohibition of 5G deployment, guaranteeing that in two or three years no competitor will be able to catch up with the brand in terms of technology and innovation, and that blocking said technology is slowing down the progress of society, since among its benefits is that of reduce costs more than 100 times. "5G is not an atomic bomb, it is something that benefits society."

As far as processor manufacturing is concerned, it ensures that the brand will be able to continue manufacturing chips high-end on their own, and not only that, they ensure that they will also be able to sell them to any American company that is interested. In addition, he has stressed that a government order is not going to end the relationships created between companies after several decades of effort, so they may not give up on this aspect. He has also left very personal and surprising brushstrokes, since he has ensured that their children prefer Apple products, and does not hesitate to buy them when they are away, although that does not mean that they do not want Huawei. With this, what he wants to make clear is that Huawei is far from speeches related to politics and populism, and in the end its equipment without simple products that the end user buys or not. The company is a commercial business that if you like it you buy it, and if not, you look for an alternative. "Don't politicize it."
Brag about what China is a world power in human resources, since 50% of the experts in artificial intelligence are natives of the country. This demonstrates the power that the country has in this aspect, although it has also been critical, since it assumes that they must be more open to forge a more promising future. Another of the solutions that he proposes is to offer better jobs, and he has stated that starting this year they will offer higher salaries than Google to attract new talent to the company.
Hongmeng OS: Huawei's operating system
When Huawei executives claimed they had a Plan B with which to move forward, they were very serious. After the extension granted by the United States for the cancellation of the licenses, the brand declared that it did not need it, and as we have seen with the statements of its founder, they do not lack reason. One of its key pieces will be the operating system, an element that seems to be ready by the end of the year, as we have learned after hearing the latest official statements.
It seems that the operating system that Huawei is preparing will receive the name of Hongmeng OS, a software with a somewhat complicated name for the western market, however, it seems that outside of China it will arrive with another more appropriate name that allows it to be named and identified without problems.
For now, said name for the foreign market is unknown, but they have confirmed that it will arrive a little later. The version for the Chinese market will land at the end of this year, while the version for the global market will do so at the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. In terms of the calendar, Huawei would have to face many months without a full operating system, so, in case of continuing with the blockade plan of the United States, we will have to see how they manage to continue launching products. It could be a very entertaining MWC for the brand.
A very clear philosophy
Huawei's position in this whole matter is being quite prudent and with a very clear idea: they will continue to show who they are at all costs. If there is something that characterizes the brand, it is that through sacrifice they have managed to reach a very privileged position in the market, so it seems that there is still a long way to go. Although what they have to overcome is a stone path, yes.
