Huawei is one of those companies that most people don't know about, or care about.
That's a shame because it's one the more interesting global stories in technology.
The reason most people don't know about Huawei is that it's a highly secretive Chinese company that is essentially banned from the United States. It's accused of stealing tech from Cisco and Motorola.
Despite the ban, it's the biggest in its field of networking technology.
We've put together a quick beginner's guide on Huawei.
Richard McGregor, author of "The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers," said that Huawei is "perhaps China's most globally successful company."[39]
It's the number one company for 4G wireless technology. It's the backbone of networking and communications around the world.
3 billion phone calls around the world run through Huawei's switches.
Its founder is Ren Zhengfei, formerly an engineer with China's People Liberation Army.
