Huawei is private and did about the same revenue as Google last year.

Except Huawei is not traded publicly.

What was Huawei paying Google for? If anything, Google was paying Huawei to be the default search engine on its phones outside of China.

What happened with Huawei and Google?

Huawei is (essentially) a state-owned company - I don't think they are calculating revenue using external auditor and comply with GAAP. It is not comparable with any publicly traded companies.

One could argue that Huawei, and all chinese companies, are effectively state-owned.

In 2017 huawei was huge (in popularity), even bigger than samsung.

Huawei is in an employee-owned company, no state involved.

It seems that Huawei is a mix between a cooperative and a private company owned by its founder.

Huawei is not owned by a communist party. Even google will tell you that much..

huawei seems to have found a way around google since they were restricted from using it.

Huawei is a private company with an opaque management structure. None of its claims can easily be verified using publicly available information (nor can claims to the contrary).

Apparently Huawei has an interesting ownership structure that may partially approximate this? Unfortunately I never bothered to try to find out in more detail.

Huawei is a private company, and there's no known case of it spying on mobile networks.

nafizh | karma 4395 | avg karma 6.24 · | 2021-11-01 15:20:34

There is good reason to distrust Huawei. There are no private Chinese companies, everything is controlled by CCP.

DiogenesKynikos | karma 1978 | avg karma 0.88 · | 2019-08-15 12:17:25

No, there's no indication whatsoever that Huawei is government-owned. Stop spreading FUD. There are plenty of state-owned enterprises in China, but Huawei isn't one of them.

dirtyaura | karma 7574 | avg karma 6.09 · | 2020-02-08 09:24:18+00:00

Huawei is/was worker-owned.
