Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei Technologies, assured that the tech giant would refuse any requests from the Chinese government to reveal confidential customer information. During a meeting with foreign reporters at Huawei’s headquarters, Ren aimed to ease Western concerns about the company being a security risk. Huawei’s access to international markets for next-generation telecom technologies has been hampered by these worries.
When asked if Huawei would comply with a request from Chinese authorities for private data on its international clients or their networks, Ren replied, “We would definitely say no to such a request.”
The United States, Australia, Japan, and several other governments have placed restrictions on the use of Huawei technology due to concerns about the company’s security risks.
