Translation version from Original Chinese version:
This afternoon, Ren Zhengfei was interviewed by foreign media at Huawei headquarters on January 15. Ren Zhengfei said that we invested 15 billion to 20 billion US dollars each year in research and development, and the investment intensity ranks in the top five in the world. We have obtained 87,805 patents for licensing, of which 11,152 are core technology patents in the United States. We have participated in more than 360 standards organizations and contributed more than 54,000 proposals. Our ability in communications is the world's strongest. Therefore, I believe that countries that do not choose Huawei and those that choose Huawei will have contrasts in the future. We cannot limit their choices.
The following is a partial interview:
"Wall Street Journal" Dan Strumpf: We have seen some new restrictions on the future development of Huawei 5G, and the next step is likely to be more restricted. Officials in Poland last week also said that NATO countries should issue a unified position against Huawei, so considering these possible restrictions, Huawei will have a large part of the market. What does this mean for Huawei, both from a business perspective and from a reputation perspective? How will Huawei respond in the future?
Ren Zhengfei: First of all, whether the Polish proposal can work, I don’t know. Because the country of Poland is small, can there be such a big push. Germany and France may have a bigger impact. Polish companies can play a role, I don't know yet. Even if Poland can realize its ideas, it is not important to our company. Because Huawei is not a listed company, we don't need a beautiful financial statement. When these countries don't buy our products, we shrink properly. As long as we can support our employees, we have a future.
Our annual R&D investment is 15 billion to 20 billion US dollars, and the input intensity is ranked in the top five in the world. We have obtained 87,805 patents for licensing, of which 11,152 are core technology patents in the United States. We have participated in more than 360 standards organizations and contributed more than 54,000 proposals. Our ability in communications is the world's strongest. Therefore, I believe that countries that do not choose Huawei and those that choose Huawei will have contrasts in the future. We cannot limit their choices.
Huawei has made a lot of efforts on 5G. Now it has signed more than 30 5G contracts, shipped 25,000 base stations and 2570 5G patents. As long as we do a good job, there will always be people who want to buy it; if the product is not good, then no matter how publicized, no one else will buy it. The only thing we can do is to simplify internal management, let the internal focus on getting the product done, and doing the service well. This is the way we truly respond to this changing world.
There are only a few manufacturers that do 5G in the world, and there are not many manufacturers that do microwave. It is able to combine 5G base stations with state-of-the-art microwave technology, and only Huawei can do it in the world. The base station can be backhauled with microwave ultra-wideband without fiber, which is a very economical and very scientific way. It is especially suitable for rural areas where people are sparsely populated. Don't think that rural areas are poor places. A large number of villas in the United States are very scattered high-end rural areas. If there is no fiber, how does it look at 8K TV? If you don't rely on Huawei, it needs a very high cost to achieve it. It is not these countries that ban Huawei's 5G, but ask Huawei to sell this 5G to it. Of course, Huawei is customer-centric and may still sell any way for profits.
