About this book

House of Huawei traces the rise of Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecommunications company that grew into a global technological power over three decades with limited public attention. The company's profile changed dramatically in December 2018 when Meng Wanzhou, the female scion of Huawei, was detained, triggering an international standoff and intensifying the US-China trade war. Washington Post technology reporter Eva Dou examines the company's reclusive founder, Ren Zhengfei, and how he built a sprawling corporate empire that Western policymakers have increasingly sought to contain. Drawing on interviews and archival research, the book explores the global networks of power, money, influence, surveillance, and national interests connected to Huawei's development and the challenges it has faced.
