giant quite a way to talk to the chairman of the board young what it's been a difficult year for this company it's in the midst of a bitter trade war between china and the us which is banned all governmental agency to use a quick moment on suspicion of espionage and leaders governmental leaders from all around the world are openly discussing their concerns about the trustworthiness of hallway as they are building their 5 g. . this is young by chairman of the board of directors of why way 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 where you all were not concerned. the u.s. government's decision to. while weight to the entity list has just created

a lot of extra work for us that. 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 and it's happening in cocoa or michelle despite all the pressure it's our top priority is to ensure survival. and i yelled at the same time we're also making sure our company keeps developing as a woman so one of communion goal. we will focus on the entire process and it's 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. so i want to go cool because of a couple but still your founder misses and said some months ago. who are ways kind of like a plane heavenly hid machine and so what do you say when you see this picture and do you agree to that what can you 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 chen's home she had said well way is like that airplane when we were added to the entity list by the u.s. government angelfish can pinch it 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. but missile young. i mean no china obviously responds in a way saying we in time only one. and produced by chinese companies as the respond of the trade war from the united states is this the right response in the globalized world i must be here as a business person no one knew. how it was ways we firmly support globalization especially for us. apply cheney. change the woman a war you should the u.s.

government allows american companies to resume supplied 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 i want to we don't want to close ourselves off for the sake of pursuing independent innovation and self-sufficiency so you can send if we only depend on ourselves we will not be able to compete in the future global market with us and we would have no change 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 what so the use of what i meant to suggest 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 the wage 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 may was on it's at this point in my shows we barely have any sales in the u.s. due to restrictions from the u.s. government which is shells alone and it's handy and of now 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 team woman attention those who mean now tell me. 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. we're learning more and more governments really expressing openly their concerns when it comes to trustworthiness and it's pure knowledge regarding why specially 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. hearns and what you make of them. now which is the power

in guess what pain has for 5 g. the world is now attaching more and more importance to it thanks to the hype from the us g. just a while when 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 products and solutions. which in the time came when she is full of time elijah for managing to use out the word she in 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 i pods and i believe the best approach to this should be to develop cybersecurity management methods rules and measures based on facts and evidence means open source so we're able to do something to help maybe we can talk about germany in the specific rule 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. but make you but do you make of this thoughts. now we. will help wow a woman i made who had seen 1st while wit complies with all local laws and regulations in every country and region where we operate. camejo when they need they need a home 2nd answer them only provides equipment and does not participate in network operations so we have no access to user data you want or need 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 line tran clean simple so we've. seen the 3 gone come 3rd way has made cyber security and privacy protection our top priority as you will realize what we are regarded as the foundation of our business operations

throughout the entire process from product design and manufacturing it to service provisioning of belgian sometime to soon she saw a woman can cope with humans having the flu. 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 own 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 that's ocean so why isn't google at the munich security conference young to see a true director of the office 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 so 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 without any lawful requests so we won't do anything which will. change we don't see. missile 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. or somebody more called chancellor america's decisions i 5 g.

are based on germany's national interests and development needs for the future and it's want to see on the. one with what i personally put under chancellor america's leadership the german government's approach to 5 g. security standards she does not focus on the suppliers country of origin but treats all suppliers equally the soil so this approach is good for the development of german communications infrastructure so than to finches will cinephiles or so you'll need to do you do consider on the market being a supporter of 5 to now was show what was our possible 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 which on the watson for our young 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 would tend to go there was shiny that just was so so the father. is

kind of leading when it comes to face all recognition and 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 that. one so we could use as a technology company we focus on how the basic research and technological applications can benefit humanity but those technologies continue to evolve and need tailored that with any emerging technology there will always be debates usually cheerful how cullen for example facial recognition can be applied in many ways to improve social governance and productivity i mean will 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 sunshine question and i just saw our 11 someone . who i thought we could be cool and in addition as we enter into a digital and intelligent world and read all the digital sovereignty it will become

increasingly important to see in this truth of what could soon so. it will be as important to a nation as its geographical sovereignty e.g. freedom from your house would usually be in there. and all countries should pay close attention to establishing their own digital sovereignty on supernatural channels and it since. we have some other big elections coming next year in the united states what do you wish for. she's a woman. may go what janet back and we don't pay much attention to elections in other countries because many of these elections happen every 4 years woman boys or humans or them changing for the elections in other countries won't have much impact on our business strategy or operation even the chain. so you would say present trump is not so important for. now one chance at como will turn france and

us what happened with the trumpets ministration has some impact on us i see we are not young woman but we are not very concerned about which government will be elected in the future. so from that 1 may have a question one last question did the broadcaster i'm working for is banned in china wouldn't it be great if people could watch this interview in the hallway of mobile phones for example home yes that would be great.
