Tech-giant Huawei's founder told his staff to 'surge forward, killing as you go, to blaze us a trail of blood' in the battle for global supremacy. Former-Chinese army engineer Ren Zhengfei addressed employees at Huawei's research and development centre in Hangzhou, eastern China, in 2018. In February this year, Ren told staff that Huawei had 'entered a state of war' after the second-largest smartphone maker in the world found itself at the centre of a technology battle between China and the US. As more and more countries allow Huawei to expand their superfast 5G networks, the company is set be decentralised with decision-making capabilities given to its 170 regional heads. The move, unveiled by Boris Johnson, will see heavy investment in areas China dominates – such as technology and research.
