Huawei confirmed that it has produced 5G base stations without American components

Reference News Network reported on September 29 that Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei, said at a business forum on September 26 that Huawei could survive without U.S. components and that it had already produced 5G base stations without U.S. components and would expand production next year.

According to a report on the website of Hong Kong Economic Daily on September 27, Ren Zhengfei also said that he still welcomed the resumption of supply in the United States because he had been with suppliers for more than 30 years. "People still have feelings and can not make money for us alone, so that friends can not make money."

Zhang Wenlin, president of Huawei's strategy department, told Reuters that Huawei's base station, which does not contain U.S. components, does not perform worse than that using U.S. components. However, it would not provide further details.

Asked how to make good use of technology and achieve technical inclusiveness, Ren Zhengfei said, "We just regard 5G as a base station, not 5G as an atomic bomb, and we can use it widely." He said that technology should not be politicized and should be chosen through competition and comparison between business and market so that everyone can share the benefits of the same new technology.
