Huawei a victim of US - China distrust?

Closed off: Huawei’s failed attempts to enter the US have prompted Ren Zhengfei, chief executive, to develop a new strategy for a market that served as his original role model


In December 1997, Ren Zhengfei and his management team gathered by the fireplace in a Silicon Valley hotel to discuss their recent meetings with a clutch of US technology firms. While their American counterparts headed home for Christmas, the boss of Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications equipment maker, and his team remained at work, analysing what they had seen and heard. In Mr Ren’s vision for global expansion, the US was to be the role model.


But 14 years on, its love affair with America is on the rocks. While the lessons from Silicon Valley have helped the Chinese company storm markets in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe – and elevated it to the global number two slot – it has hit a brick wall in the US.


Huawei’s frustrated attempts to make serious inroads in the US add up to more than just a corporate saga. They reveal deepening mutual distrust between China and America. In the US, there is growing frustration and alarm in the intelligence community and in Congress at its companies’ dependence on China for critical components in highly sensitive industries. There are also concerns that US groups are placed at a disadvantage by hidden financial support from Beijing for their rivals. China, for its part, suspects that America is seeking to contain its rise on all fronts, including economic.


Last year, Huawei also lost out to Nokia Siemens Networks in a bid for Motorola’s wireless assets, and failed to win a bid for 2wire, an internet software firm that went to Pace of the UK instead. People familiar with both failures say that concerns about the risk of regulatory delays played a role in each.


“Things have clearly gotten much worse for Huawei,” says Mario Mancuso of Fried Frank, a global law firm, and former undersecretary of commerce.


This is in part because of the rocky state of Sino-US relations, including reports of cyberattacks on US companies such as Google in China. Fairly or unfairly, says James Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, America will be loath to entrust a Chinese group with access to its communications network if it has reason to suspect doing so would bolster cyberwarfare capabilities.


“Awareness in the national security policy community of threats in the cyber domain has greatly increased,” says Mr Mancuso. “So if you believe that the Chinese government is engaging in cyber-intrusion, you’ll have a problem with Huawei because Huawei sits smack in the middle of the industry supplying the critical infrastructure.”


Huawei sees itself as a victim of a relationship poisoned by distrust and demonisation of China. Bill Plummer, spokesman for Huawei North America, reels off a list of other stress points, including currency disputes, disagreement over Tibet and Taiwan and China’s inclination to use information security and innovation policies to shut foreign companies out of the market. “We are always seen through this prism,” he complains.
