Huawei

For our first episode of Season 5, Acquired returns to Shenzhen
to cover another Chinese technology giant, this one slightly...
different from our past subjects: Huawei. From a backwater
importer of PBX switches to the world’s second largest handset
manufacturer and near-undisputed leader in 5G infrastructure
technology, Huawei’s ascent over the past 30 years has been
nothing short of spectacular, equaled only by the spectacular
fireworks of recent events surrounding the company. What’s the
story behind this global telecom giant, and what does its future
portend for global tech and US - China relations? We dive in.
