Huawei plans to sell its 5G technology to its rivals to dilute espionage suspicions

• Veto USA. Huawei is in a "life or death" situation, according to its founder

Its CEO Ren Zhengfei has launched this proposal in an interview with The Economist days before the new Mate 30 is presented. The Chinese technology Huawei seeks to leave the blacklist in which it was introduced by the US. How? As the last offer launched by Ren Zhengfei, CEO of the company, contemplates the sale of the rights of all its 5G patents in a single operation.

This was recognized in an interview with The Economist. "A balanced distribution of interests leads to the survival of Huawei," Zhengfei said in an offer that seeks to dispel espionage accusations made by Donald Trump.

The package would include all 5G patents, a technology in which China takes the lead and would allow the creation of a technological rival in the US, where no company has channeled such a development. The offer has no economic amount assigned or a possible buyer.

However, The Economist estimates Huawei's investment in 5G technology at least $ 2 billion. For now it is a declaration of intent that arrives in the pre-celebration of Huawei Connect , a technological summit in which it plans to present a new business strategy. In the list of possible buyers are also European as Nokia or Ericcson.

Reduce tensions

This sale of knowledge would balance the board with the aim of reducing tensions and preserving Huawei's position, not only in the US market, but also in others such as the British or the Australian, which consider restrictive measures similar to those taken in the US. The blacklist in which Huawei was included prevents US companies from doing business with the Chinese firm, which has received several extensions to separate from firms based in this country, such as Google.

Huawei phones work with its Android operating system , so a divorce would force the development of a whole new universe of programs. However, in this power struggle, Google has been in favor of pressuring the Trump administration to continue providing software to Huawei. At the moment these requests have fallen in broken sack and some of the new models of the Chinese company such as the Mate 30 (presented next days) could arrive without applications such as Google Maps or YouTube.
