Huawei founder says US underestimates company, 'can't be isolated'BEIJING, China — Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei struck a defiant tone Tuesday against US attempts to block his company's global ambitions, saying the US "underestimates" the telecom giant's strength. "The current practice of US politicians underestimates our strength," Ren said, according to CCTV. In terms of 5G technologies, others won't be able to catch up with Huawei in two or three years," he said. At the same time, the US Commerce Department announced the effective ban on American companies selling or transferring US technology to Huawei. Ren shrugged off the move, saying Huawei can make its own chips and "can't be isolated" from the world.
