If the United States decide to ban Huawei's use of Google GMS forever, Huawei's own system would also be put into use, and the integration of that ecosystem would be completed within 2-3 years, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in a recent interview with CNN.
Assuming that Google is unable to obtain a license to continue to supply to Huawei, Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei still has a backup plan, according to interview transcripts published by Huawei on Tuesday.
Huawei is now the world's second largest smartphone manufacturer. Is it possible for Huawei to become the world's number one without Google?
Ren Zhengfei said that there should be no problem, but it will take time. Huawei will be able to return to overseas markets next year and the following year. It has this ability and determination.
Ren Zhengfei said that he firmly embraced globalization in the supply chain, and welcomed US companies to increase their supply to Huawei to achieve a win-win situation.
When American companies can't supply to Huawei, there are also alternative options. If the alternatives are mature and stable, the possibility of switching back is relatively small.
Ren Zhengfei said that this period is an important turning point for everyone and hopes that the US government will consider the interests of American companies.
Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei's attitude is to firmly embrace globalization and not take the closed road of independent innovation and self-reliance in isolation. However, it cannot be said that we do not work hard in various aspects. In the event that a U.S. company does not supply parts, Huawei will also survive.
Ren Zhengfei said Huawei has survived under the US ban and there will be no problem in a short time. But the worry is whether it can continue to lead the world after 3-5 years. “This is the issue we want to study.”
Earlier, Microsoft just obtained a license from the US government. Ren Zhengfei said that Microsoft's license will help the Microsoft system continue to develop rapidly in the world.
Because the production volume of Huawei's PCs and servers is still very large, it will support the use of Intel and Microsoft systems to increase development in this area, he said.
