These remarks gave insight into Huawei’s efforts to recover from the US trade restrictions imposed on the company since 2019, which have cut off Huawei’s supply of chips from US companies and access to US technology tools. The Biden administration also banned the sale of new Huawei equipment in the US.

According to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Ren Zhengfei made these comments in a speech to Chinese technology experts on February 24, and the transcript was posted on the university’s website on Friday. A Huawei representative based in the US did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
Ren said Huawei invested $23.8 billion in R&D in 2022, and “as our profitability improves, we’ll continue to increase R&D spending.”

The reports come after analysts said that Huawei showed off 5G telecommunications equipment at an industry conference in Barcelona in which all of the chips on its circuit boards had their origins obscured.
