Right in the middle of the deepening U.S.-China trade war storm, Huawei Technologies Co., the world's leading telecom network equipment provider from China, is making world headlines as a result of the U.S. ban on its products and cutoff from its business partners. During an exclusive interview with state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) on May 21, Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei showed little concern about the challenges facing the company. "More than a decade ago, when we set up our goal to go big, we knew that such a situation would be inevitable," he said. "Such clashes are doomed to be set off sooner or later."
