Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei insisted his company does not spy on behalf of China. In a rare public appearance, reported by the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Ren said: “I personally would never harm the interest of my customers and me and my company would not answer to such requests.” It comes as his daughter, the company’s CFO Meng Wanzhou, is fighting extradition to the U.S. after being arrested in Canada.
“No law requires any company in China to install mandatory back doors,” Ren Zhengfei said Tuesday. “I personally would never harm the interest of my customers and me and my company would not answer to such requests.” Mr. Ren’s public comments at Huawei’s campus are his first in years and come as the telecom giant faces challenges on multiple fronts.

Two things:
1. You can decide for yourself whether or not you believe this guy. Personally, I don’t.
2. Let me tell you about our experience with Huawei. We were prepared to make a major purchase from them … even cut the P.O. … but then they can back and said that the salesperson had made a mistake and they couldn’t honor it.
Sleazeballs.
