Hong Kong (CNN Business)Huawei’s founder and president Ren Zhengfei remained silent in public while his company suffered a terrible 2018, including bans and warnings against its products in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
He even kept quiet when his daughter, Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Canada.
But just days after a Huawei executive was arrested in Poland on allegations of spying, he broke his silence, defending his company and praising US President Donald Trump during a rare interview with foreign media.
