Bloomberg, in interview with Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, asked about the threat of China banning Apple:
Ren said he would object to any such move against his American rival.
“That will not happen, first of all. And second of all, if that happens, I’ll be the first to protest,” Ren said in the interview. “Apple is my teacher, it’s in the lead. As a student, why go against my teacher? Never.”
Fascinating article.
“Who will we copy from? We’ll have to import the phones ourselves to have a look!” would be more honest.
Yes, he’d “object” to the actions of the government that oversees his company. Pull the other one.
Amazing how USA citizens ignore or do not know how the USA used to be like China is today.
USA companies used to rob, copy creations from UK’s (for example) back in the 18 and 19 century (Northern textile makers turned their region in a spinning and weaving power house using commercial moxie and industrial espionage).
Recently NASA is the most glaring example.
At least he is not afraid of telling the truth, he copies from his teacher.
