. this is young by chairman of the board of directors of who i weigh thank you so much for being on our program. or your friends i'm happy to be here today to talk to you. so who are always in the midst of a bitter trade war between china and the united states of america are you running scared by the end of this year a woman when you were not concerned. the u.s. government's decision to add while way to the entity list has just created a lot of extra work for us that. we should we have had to redesign some of our products and make sure our supply chain can continue to deliver products to our customers in a timely manner. despite all the pressure that's our top priority is to ensure survival. at the same time we're also making sure our company keeps developing. we will follow. it's on the entire process from product design and manufacturing to

rebuilding our supply chain delivery installation and test to ensure that we can provide the best possible products and services to our customers and one school so i want to go out of a couple but still your founder mr chen said some months ago. who always kind of like a plane heavily hit by machine and so what do you say when you see this picture and do you agree to that want to know how to survive yes i agree with him bongs the airplane shown in this picture kept flying even after being riddled with bullet holes but it finally made its way back home by chen's home but if you had said geoffrey go away is like that airplane when we were added to the entity list by the u.s. government confusion here to land safely we have to solve many problems and patch up these holes one by one which is like redesigning some of our products and ensuring supply continuity woman and. but missile young. i mean no china

obviously responds in a way saying we in time only one. could mend produced by chinese companies as they respond of the trade war from the united states is this the right response in the globalized world i'm asking you as a business person now with new. ways we firmly support globalization especially for our supply chain me. and the woman a war you in the u.s. government allows american companies to resume supply to while wearing it we will still buy u.s. components to build our supply chain so as a woman we are committed to globalization and this commitment is never going to change in one take we don't want to close ourselves off for the sake of pursuing independent innovation and self-sufficiency and if we only depend on ourselves we will not be able to compete in the future global market. well as i mean we've had

routines in it so you say you have a deep interest really keeping keep working closely to the united states and share components and work closely together in the future once so they use a tool so what i meant is just that while way will still embrace globalization no matter whether it is to work with companies from the u.s. europe and germany japan or south korea which it's not up to while away whether we can use u.s. products. instead it's the u.s. government that is banning u.s. companies from supplying way. how important this is american market now woman who made. this point to my shows we barely have any sales in the u.s. due to restrictions from the u.s. government which is shell's a war and it's the end of now while our products and services are very competitive in the we're willing to provide our communications products to u.s. carriers as a means on our pollution that's what hit me was now that our business presence in

the u.s. is virtually nonexistent when we can focus our efforts on the countries where our products and services are welcome shinzo woman there. were many more and more governments really expressing openly their concerns when it comes to trustworthiness and espionage regarding why especially when they're talking about building or when you want to build the 5 g.-net there can you talk a little bit about these concerns and what you make of them. now with the dollar in gas for pain as for 5 g. the world is now attaching more and more importance to it thanks to the hype from the u.s. gee why would the truth is that while way is leading in 5 g. because we began investing heavily early on giving us competitive advantages in 5 g. technologies here products and solutions. in the time pin when you change your phone and the change in use at the. germany has proposed that higher standards

should be set and the standard should apply to all players in the entire industry to ensure cyber security and it's on the chip and eyeballs and i believe the best approach to this should be to develop cybersecurity management methods rules and measures based on facts and evidence is open source so we're able to do something to hold maybe we can talk about germany in the specific role in a moment i just want to come back to the concerns for a 2nd so. people all around the world say how can we trust a company which can be forced by law to deliver information to the state what make you what do you make of this thoughts. now we. will help our way a woman may who had seen 1st while we're complies with all local laws and regulations in every country and region where we operate. tommy your let me they need

a whole 2nd incident while way only provides equipment and does not participate in network operations so we have no access to user data how you want me i believe different countries and regions are capable of managing their cyber security and data protection concerns on their own sandia was a while one by one my interest clearly is simple so we've. seen in the 3 3rd way is made cyber security and privacy protection our top priority here we will we are regarded as the foundation of our business operations throughout the entire process from product design and manufacturing it to service provisioning belgian. time can soon see a woman i can cope with humans have been there for. but still please let me alone me to quote from one of the laws at least taking place in china maybe they don't take place in germany or other countries we can talk about that later but let me quote this very law and the organization are citizens sole support system cooperated with the state intelligence work in accordance with the law so.

can the state of china force you to give information which you would be able to collect for example in germany and i saw someone young why isn't google at the munich security conference young to see a choose the director of the golf course of the foreign affairs commission of the c.p.c. central committee made it clear that china has no law requiring companies to install back doors or collect foreign intelligence so will the new good chinese premier. then reiterated this position at a press conference following a session of the national people's congress this year he stated this is against chinese law and it is not the chinese way of doing things we don't do such things now and we will never do them in the future and these are how chinese officials interpret china's national intelligence law one way has never received any such requests during our operations over the past years and even if we received such

requests in the future we would not agree to them as without any lawful requests so we won't do anything which will now woman. mrs young you have said you talk quite positively about germany is or let's put it differently how important is our chancellor angela merkel for you. as the leader and how important are the signal she sends out when it comes to de fife who are so many more called chancellor merkel's decisions i 5 g. are based on germany's national interests and development needs for the future and that's what it say on the. one with their what i only played under chancellor america's leadership the german government's approach to 5 g. security standards does not focus on the suppliers country of origin but treats all suppliers equally the story with this approach is good for the development of german communications infrastructure so than to finches also cinephiles or so you'll need to do you do consider an america being

a supporter of 5 to now was joe what was our custom song with g. i can only tell you what i read in the news. about there have been extensive discussions about the development of 5 g. infrastructure within the german government fathers and men now with young global sinful are you guys what i'm saying it's all of these discussions are based on facts and evidence which are good for germany to develop its next generation infrastructure and to go. to the father. is kind of leading when it comes to face all recognition in other technology is a company responsible for possible misuse of the products or do you say we just. produce the products and leave it to the people who use them while we want so we could you as a technology company i want you we focus on how basic research and technological applications can benefit humanity but it's technologies continue to evolve and need tailored that's with any emerging technology there will always be to be us though

he said it's useful for example facial recognition can be applied in many ways to improve social governance and productivity so i mean we'll soon be in the you and the on the year lincoln in terms of security and trustworthiness we have made cyber security and privacy protection our top priority aside from question now you saw our one out want to one. up that we could because in addition as we enter into a digital and intelligent world free of all the digital sovereignty it will become increasingly important to see in this truth of what could soon so pale poland as it will be as important to a nation as its geographical sovereignty e.g. freedom so we are now suited to be in the goonies and our countries should pay close attention to establishing their own digital sovereignty on some control channels and a chance. we have some other big elections coming next year in the united states

what do you wish for. she's a woman. and we don't pay much attention to elections in other countries because many of these elections happen every 4 years woman. or humans are the changes for the elections in other countries won't have much impact on our business strategy or operation even the cina. so you would say prison from is not so important for. now we want to influence on us what happened with the trumpets ministration it has some impact on us. but we are not very concerned about which government will be elected in the future. so for me when we would have. one last question did wu the broadcaster i'm working for is banned in china when the big range of people could watch this interview on our way mobile phone for example on yes that would be great. thank you.

i'm scared that the work that hard and in the end is a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers what clients and. what's your story.
