[MWC상하이 2021] Huawei President Catherine Chen “ideological claims about technology, causing division and confusion”

“Technology is very important, but if you argue that the development of technology is ideologically wrong, it will only lead to division, confusion, and regression.”

Catherine Chen, president of Huawei’s public relations and external cooperation division, said in a keynote speech before the opening of’MWC Shanghai 2021′ held in Shanghai, China on the 22nd.

Over the past few years, the U.S. government has raised security concerns and has imposed high-intensity sanctions blocking transactions with Chinese companies. In May 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce included Huawei and its affiliates on the list of Chinese companies that required government permission to do business with their own companies, and in May last year, a company that intends to use U.S. semiconductor technology was to supply parts to Huawei. It also announced intensive sanctions requiring approval. In response, Huawei has launched a technology independence project that does not use parts containing US technology.

President Catherine Chen’s remarks can be interpreted as targeting the attitude of the United States.

“If you don’t effectively curb the digital platform led by China, it will be very dangerous to the US, and I recently read a report that 5G is one of them.” “5G is a standardized technology defined by high bandwidth, low latency, and wide connectivity. By doing so, we can help traditional industries change and benefit everyone.”

He added that “large-scale 5G deployments can already be found in many industries around the world. Every day, consumers are benefiting from 5G experience, and industries in ports, mines, and transportation are improving operational efficiency.”

President Catherine Chen said in the end, “Looking back on history, we have experienced how great social changes are caused by advances in science and technology.” “We need to reach a global consensus on this issue and believe in the power of technology that can be used for the good of society.”

Meanwhile, Huawei will attend the’MWC Shanghai 2021′ held in Shanghai, China from the 23rd to the 25th. It will introduce nine new products and solutions, including Gigabit Home Broadband and Intelligent Cloud Network.
