Huawei’s global expansion has three core characteristics:
Full Westernization
Since 1996, Huawei has hired more than a dozen consulting companies from the United States and the United Kingdom, such as IBM, to conduct research and development, supply chain, human resources, financial, and market management reforms of Huawei. The cost of management change in the past 17 years has reached more than 50 As a result, a complete set of systems and processes that are close to or even identical to those of Western companies have been constructed. This is the fundamental factor for Huawei to gain a foothold in the global market and succeed.
Legal Compliance
Complying with the laws of the United Nations and the United States, Huawei regards U.S. law as international law because, in fact, the United States can use its own laws to crack down and sanction any enterprise worldwide. In addition, you must strictly abide by the laws of your country. Huawei has been developing in the Brazilian market for nearly 20 years, with a cumulative loss of $ 1.3 billion. The main reason for the loss is the lack of awareness of the Brazilian legal environment. Many foreign companies have a long history of losses in Brazil. In 2013, Huawei made a profit of USD 2 million for the first time in Brazil. If it is calculated with a profit target of USD 60 million per year in the future, it will take 23 years to achieve a static turnaround.
Cultural Compliance

Since 2001, Huawei has accelerated the advancement of its international R & D layout. The United States is the birthplace of CDMA, data communications, and cloud computing. Huawei has established two research institutes in Silicon Valley and Dallas. Europe is the birthplace of 3G, and Ericsson is the leader of 3G technology. To this end, Huawei set up the 3G Technology Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Russia is a world leader in the field of radio frequency, and Huawei established a research institute focusing on radio frequency technology development in Moscow.
Huawei has established 16 studies in Germany, Stockholm, Sweden, Dallas and Silicon Valley, Bangalore, India, Moscow, Russia, Japan, Canada, Turkey, Shenzhen, China, Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Wuhan and other places By. In 2015, there were about 79,000 people engaged in research and development, accounting for 45% of the total number of companies.
