Just FYI:

Huawei is one of the first companies that promoted the "996" schedule. https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU

Huawei started the trend of laying off engineers once they reach 35 years old in China.

They also recently had an internal bounty program that gave workers promotions/bonuses for any internal trade secrets/inventions they could acquire from western technology companies. That’s the spirit!

I remember several cases back from the eighties where US intelligence pilfered European trade secrets.

Only several?

Source?

Right after saying “there will be conflict”, Ren said China and the US will eventually hug each other on the “summit of technology” and make contributions to the humanity together.

I don't want to sound overly pessimistic here, but in my personal experience companies from second and third-world seem to have learned expertly how to exploit the "humanity" angle to outsiders while secretly exploiting their workers internally.

Can't say I see this in black and white necessarily, but I strongly suspect these companies (conglomerates of 2nd and 3rd world countries especially, and even their governments) realize this is the vocabulary of the 21st century and are using this to try to continue marketing themselves.

EDIT: In no way do I think first-world companies / countries are pure. I just notice this and its impact far more with respect to 2nd and 3rd world.

Not saying every word Huawei founder says can be fully trusted.

The problem is that his statements are extremely misrepresented.

Found a transcript (in Chinese) if people are interested.

Warning: very long text -- 20,000 characters in length.

Is there a decent translation in English available?

I don't think there is a decently translated version.

You can try Google translate. Its result is probably good enough for understanding the most important bits.

Tongue-in-cheek: Isn't Google the exact company meant to bring Huawei down? Is there some sort of checksum for translations?

> Is there some sort of checksum for translations?

Obviously not, no translator would have a job!

You only get matching output if you get a matching input, that's a defining property of a checksum.

If you could get matching input, i.e. translated texts from different sources, that would mean that not only is translation a completely solved problem, but also that the source and target language were equivalently expressive and neither ambiguous, every word having a 1:1 mapping.

That is, they must be the same language, just at most differently different represented.

I mean it in the sense that you have the conglomerate at the centre of this storm who is forced into following government orders doing the translation.

Whose to say they couldn't give two different people varying translations into English based on the exact same article?

It would be an authoritarian governments wet dream.
