Large companies are not necessarily and a hare. The hare was born a fast runner, but synonyms for complacency or conservativeness; during the race, it had a rest from time to time, it is not inevitable for them to perish, or taking an afternoon tea or having a nap on the otherwise we would not strive to be one. grass. The tortoise surpassed the hare and won the race in the end. Can BMW match Tesla’s pace? This has been an issue of debate for some time at Huawei. Most Huawei is like a big tortoise. In the past 25 years, believe that Tesla vehicles represent a disruptive we have crawled along, not seeing the flowers on innovation and will surpass BMWs. I think that the road. While many people have become rich, BMW may not lose the game if they take an open riding on the rising economy over the last two approach to improve themselves.

The Strategy innovation. & Development Committee proposed the idea of surpassing US companies and enjoying the Huawei is like BMW, in that we are also a big ride, and I guess maybe that’s because they are company. We live in an information society that is confident in our profitability in the next few years fast-changing with lots of disruptive innovations. and want to invest more in the strategic areas. Can we continue to survive? Admit it or not, this However, we can possibly surpass US companies is a question right in front of us. It took us 25 only when our area of focus is as big as the years to build a good platform and accumulate tip of a needle. If we enlarge the focus area to some resources. Those are our treasures, as they the size of the head of a match or the end of a came after loads of money being wasted by our stick, surpassing US companies will be out of the executives and experts into projects and products question. that had failed. Of course the money wasted comes from what you have earned in the first We only allow employees to leverage their initiative place, and more importantly without such wastes, and creativity along the main route, or in other we would not be where we are today. We value words in areas of our strategic business focus. Blind the success we have gained through learning from innovation would simply disperse our investment our failures. If we continue to be progressive, and energy.

  • Canadian Views on China from Ambivalence to Distrust Canadian Views on China: from Ambivalence to Distrust
    Research Paper Roland Paris US and the Americas Programme | July 2020 Canadian Views on China From Ambivalence to Distrust Canadian Views on China: From Ambivalence to Distrust Summary • Public opinion surveys in Canada indicate that attitudes towards China have hardened dramatically since the two countries became locked in a diplomatic dispute in late 2018. Whereas public views of China had long been ambivalent, they are now strongly negative. • Hardened Canadian attitudes are likely to persist, even if the current dispute ends. The two countries appear to have entered a new, warier phase in their relationship. A return to the status quo ante in bilateral relations is unlikely. • China’s detention of two Canadian citizens and its trade actions against Canada have startled the country. So has the Trump administration’s mercurial treatment of Canada and other US allies. These developments have highlighted risks that Canada faces in a world of intensified geopolitical rivalry, where Canada may be subject to direct forms of great-power coercion. • Although managing the current dispute with China is important, Canadian leaders understand that maintaining productive relations with the US and reliable access to its market is a vital national interest. Canada is not ‘neutral’ in the growing rivalry between the US and China. It will align with the US, but it will also seek to prevent tensions with China from escalating. 1 | Chatham House Canadian Views on China: From Ambivalence to Distrust Introduction China’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, including its apparent suppression of information about the initial outbreak in Wuhan, has produced a backlash against Beijing in several countries.1 For many Canadians, however, these developments have reinforced existing misgivings.
