Description
On the coast of southern China, an eccentric entrepreneur spent three decades steadily building an obscure telecommunications company into one of the world’s most powerful technological empires, with hardly anyone noticing. This changed in December 2018, when the detention of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies’ female scion, sparked an international hostage standoff, intensified the U.S.-China trade war and thrust the mysterious company into the international spotlight. In this book, Washington Post technology reporter Eva Dou pieces together a remarkable portrait of Huawei’s reclusive founder Ren Zhengfei and the way he built a sprawling corporate empire whose rise Western policymakers have become increasingly determined to halt. The book examines the global web of power, money, influence, surveillance, bloodshed and national glory that Huawei helped create and that has also ensnared it.
