Ren Zhengfei at Davos: U.S. will further limit Huawei, but that's fine

Founder of China's telecom equipment giant Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, told Davos that he suspects the U.S. to take more actions against the company while Huawei continues to survive.

"We got the experience now," he said during a session at the Winter Davos. "We have poured hundreds of billions of money into our Plan B, and that's why can withstand the first wave of U.S. attack."

Ren also stressed that Huawei is a "pro-U.S." company that hired tens of U.S. consulting firms to teach Huawei how to manage a big company.

"The U.S. should be proud that their experience on management brought development to other places," he said.

On the widespread fear of AI, Ren compared it with nuclear technology to tell the audience that AI can do good.

"I was born around the time of Hiroshima, and I saw people around me being afraid of nuclear bombs," he said. "But eventually nuclear power plants and the use of radiation in hospitals have benefited so many people."

"The same can be true for AI," Ren stressed.
