Huawei chief bullish about 2021

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. sees bright prospects for its business this year after reporting an increase in income last year despite the coronavirus pandemic, which dampened sentiment.

Huawei founder and Chief Executive Officer Ren Zhengfei said recently that the China-based technology company saw its earnings grow in 2020, as well as significant customer confidence levels, without specifying figures.

This, he added, encouraged his firm to produce more products under the Huawei brand and continue to rely on globalization to resolve its current challenges.

“I am even more confident about Huawei’s survival than I was, because we have more ways to overcome those challenges. Our sales revenue and profits in 2020 were higher than last year,” he was quoted as saying through an interpreter in an interview with reporters.

Globally, Ren said Huawei was looking to seize trade opportunities in the United States, especially now that Joe Biden is its president.

During the administration of Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, Washington was lukewarm toward Huawei, alleging that its products could be used to spy on Americans — a claim the firm denies.

Ren said he was open to talking with Biden on joint development and shared success.

“The US wants to have economic growth, and China wants to have economic growth, as well,” he added.

“Trade benefits both sides. Allowing US companies to supply goods to Chinese customers is conducive to their own financial performance. If Huawei’s production capacity expands, that would mean US companies could sell more. It’s a win-win situation,” Ren said.

“I believe the new administration will weigh and balance these interests as they consider their policies,” he added.

“We still hope to be able to buy a lot of US components, parts and machinery, so that US companies can also develop with the Chinese economy.”

Despite this, Huawei was not looking to diversify into other businesses, with Ren saying it would only continue to offer a platform and provide “a soil where all kinds of crops can grow.”

Huawei saw its chip-shipment business decline last year amid the lack of supply of raw materials, but it hopes to recover this year, especially that the US government considered chips an important accessory in the technology industry.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

Duterte allows more pork imports

President Rodrigo Duterte has allowed additional pork imports to boost the supply and stabilize meat prices, a Palace official said on Thursday. President Rodrigo Duterte. Contributed photo According to Cabinet Secretary Karlo Alexei Nograles, the President approved during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday the recommendation of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to increase the Minimum Access Volume (MAV) of pork imports for this year. He said the present MAV was 54,210 metric tons, but the DA projected that the annual demand for pork supply will reach 1,618,355 mt. “The DA has recommended that the MAV must be expanded just enough to cover the projected shortfall for the year,” Nograles said during a virtual press briefing. The MAV sets the limit on agricultural imports that have a customs duty lower than the out-quota customs tariff. Nograles said Duterte approved this proposal, along with the creation of a sub-task group on economic intelligence “to go after smugglers, profiteer...

The National Museum – in step with the ‘new normal’

Even as vaccines begin to make their way around the world, museums and galleries are most likely among the industries which will be last to make a complete return to operations. Here in the Philippines to be specific, museums and galleries, along with cultural centers and libraries, are considered non-essentials and can only open under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MGCQ), with corresponding rules on safety. The National Museum The National Museum The National Museum The National Museum The National Museum The National Museum The National Museum The National Museum It has therefore been quite a while since the National Museum of the Philippines complex in Manila saw long queues of guests, which of course has been very disheartening for the community. But just like the rest of the nation, the vanguards of the country’s precious arts and artifacts proved to be resilient, resourceful and innovative as they quickly built and steeled an online presence through...
