Huawei is one of Chinas’s most influential tech companies. Accusations that Huawei could be spying for the Chinese government, and thus represents a threat to US national security, have thrown the company and its founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei into the spotlight. Ren’s response to the crisis has been calm and dignified. Who is the man behind the controversial company? For this portrait, Ran Caijing’s team of reporters dug up Ren’s scant keynotes and media interviews from the past.

Take-Aways

When US authorities put Huawei on a blacklist that barred US firms from doing business with the Chinese tech giant, CEO Ren Zhengfei responded calmly.
To grow economically and technologically, China must continue to learn how to communicate and collaborate with the United States and other nations despite strains on US-China relations.
Ren invests heavily in talent acquisition and development, looking for hires who excel in advanced technology, research and development, and can fit into Huawei’s “wolf culture.”
