People's Daily published an interview with Huawei board director and president
of the Semiconductor Business Unit He Tingbo. He said that faced with various
difficulties the company did not retreat and fought with all its might. What we
pride ourselves on is a simple belief and unglamorous, stubborn hard work; as
as long as the direction is correct, moving more slowly is acceptable — by
continually moving forward you will eventually find bridges and roads. Relying
on sustained basic-theory research and practice, we not only cleared a path but
built a highway. We are an engineer-led company; engineers' work is to solve
problems. External environmental constraints have imposed very stringent limits
on us, but they have also given us a purer work drive. Most of the time the team
works resolutely, quietly and calmly, because only when calm, focused and free
of distractions can one sincerely, openly and deeply probe problems and find
solutions.
