the chief Huawei would be " the first to protest " China retaliation to Trump ban

Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei conducted a series of interviews last week in response to his company's listing on a US ban list. In speaking with Bloomberg, he made the statement that he does not expect or expect any retaliation from the Chinese government for banning the Trump administration. A resolute Ren says, "It will not happen, first of all. And second, if it happens, I will be the first to protest. "

Notoriety revolves around the name of Huawei in the United States, US security agencies calling it a threat to national security and encouraging consumers to give up buying Huawei devices. Other allegations of theft of intellectual property and business secrets also taint the company's reputation, although it is difficult to find hard evidence of material fault. President Trump recently claimed that his administration's actions are more of a trade negotiation measure against China than a genuine national security response to Huawei.

In such circumstances, it may be reasonable for Huawei's leader to turn to the Chinese government to protect his company, but Ren takes a different approach. He says that the current precarious situation of Huawei is like managing a plane with a hole in the side: it's not big, but the plane is still in place, and the company will need to make the adjustments appropriate.
