In recent years, with the intensification of global technology competition, Huawei has become the focus of attention. Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's new rotating chairman, is also Huawei's current supreme leader, and in the eyes of everyone, Meng Wanzhou is more like Huawei's "spiritual leader"!
However, the recent Meng Wanzhou incident has undoubtedly further pushed Huawei to the cusp of public opinion. Is Meng Wanzhou's trip to the United States to break the situation for Huawei or "give away people's heads"? To solve this problem, we need to analyze it from multiple angles.
In December 2018, Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada at the request of the United States, ostensibly in violation of the old US sanctions against Iran, but in fact, many people know that it is almost exactly the same as the suppression of France's Alstom, in order to suppress Huawei's 5G telecommunications business.
But between Meng Wanzhou and 5G, Ren Zhengfei chose the latter, and publicly stated that he was "ready to never see his daughter!" ”
In the three years of house arrest, Meng Wanzhou was calm and calm in the face of difficulties from the great powers, reflecting the temperament of the Chinese sons and daughters of "not admitting defeat", personally not defeated, Huawei was not knocked down, and finally with the efforts of the motherland, Meng Wanzhou returned to the embrace of the motherland on September 25, 2021.
Is Meng Wanzhou's trip to the United States really for Huawei's breakthrough?
In fact, Huawei's performance in the global market has always been very good, and its leading position in the field of 5G technology is beyond the reach of other competitors. This also means that Huawei's influence on the global political stage is increasing, which will inevitably attract the attention and fear of some countries. The Meng Wanzhou incident is difficult to say because of Huawei's technical problems, more of a political incident, involving not only tensions between China and the United States, but also commercial competition between Huawei and competitors. Therefore, in the incident of Meng Wanzhou's trip to the United States, Huawei's breakthrough did not have much to do with its overseas business and market performance.
Second, is Meng Wanzhou's trip to the United States just an act of "giving people's heads"? There is no doubt that Meng Wanzhou, as a senior manager of Huawei, has an important influence on Huawei's development. Her visit to the United States was accused of violating the relevant laws of US sanctions against Iran, and was arrested by the US government on charges of "espionage", which added many negative factors to Huawei's unruly image. However, is Meng Wanzhou's trip to the United States just an act of "giving away people's heads" for Huawei? Apparently not. As Vice President and CFO of Huawei, Meng Wanzhou has jurisdiction over Huawei's global finance and financial supervision. Therefore, if Meng Wanzhou is detained, it will not only have a certain impact on Huawei's finances, but also bring certain pressure to Huawei's business cooperation. It can be said that the importance of Meng Wanzhou to Huawei cannot be ignored, and Huawei will definitely do its best to protect her rights and interests.
Finally, we need to be clear that the Meng Wanzhou incident will not change Huawei's dominant position in the field of technology. Huawei has become the world's leading supplier of communication equipment, and its outstanding performance in the field of 5G is enough to show its strength in the field of technology. At the same time, Huawei is also working hard to promote the construction of its own intelligent ecosystem to meet the different needs of users. Therefore, although the Meng Wanzhou incident will inevitably bring some troubles to Huawei, it will not change Huawei's strategic layout and overall development direction.
Little Star Epilogue:
To sum up, is Meng Wanzhou's trip to the United States a breakthrough for Huawei or a "head"? The answer is not entirely clear, and in fact, the question itself contains a degree of misunderstanding. Huawei does not need Meng's sacrifice to prove its strength. On the contrary, what Huawei needs is to continue to lead in technological innovation and business expansion, which is the fundamental way to truly solve the problem.
