Huawei founder and chief executive Ren Zhengfei speaks during a press briefing in Taiyuan, in China’s northern Shanxi province on Feb. 9, 2021. Zhengfei called Tuesday for an open approach from new US President Joe Biden, after the firm was battered by sanctions imposed by Donald Trump’s administration. Ren Zhengfei said his “confidence in Huawei’s ability to survive has grown” despite travails across much of the western world where it is maligned as a potential security threat.
