The founder of Huawei told the BBC: The United States can not crush us

The founder of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei said in an interview with the BBC that "the United States can not crush society".

Ren Zheng said that the arrest of his daughter Meng Wanzo, executive director of Huawei, had a political motive.

The United States has brought criminal charges against the company, including money laundering, bank fraud and obstruction of justice.

Huawei denies any wrongdoing. Ren Zheng rejected the pressure exerted by the United States

"The United States can not crush us," he said, "the world can not leave us because we are more sophisticated."

"Even if they convince more countries to stop dealing with us, we can always lower prices a bit."

However, Ren Zheng acknowledged that this loss could have a significant impact on society.

"If they convince more countries not to deal with us temporarily, we can always reduce the size of the company," he said.

American warning

Last week, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned his country's allies against the use of Huawei equipment on their land, stressing that it would complicate Washington's task to "take partners".

The United States, Australia and New Zealand prohibit local companies from using Huawei to provide fifth-generation mobile network technology, while Canada examines whether Huawei's products pose a threat to Security.
