Huawei plans to lay off hundreds of its workers in the United States

Huawei to lay off hundreds of Futurewei workers

Although the United States lifted its veto on Huawei a few weeks ago, it seems that friction between both parties will continue. Huawei has only reacted to the movements of the American country, yes, but it has also applied measures, on its own initiative, which, in a certain way, are spears for Donald Trump's cabinet.

After being "embargoed", Huawei accelerated the development of its next operating system for smartphones, which has been underway for a long time because at one point it was prohibited from using Android on its mobile phones. This was just one of the moves that the Chinese company made to confront the US attacks, but the one we describe below could not be defense, but rather a clear response to the ban that does not allow some of its Smartphones are sold there.

Thanks to recent conflicts between the United States and Huawei, a few weeks ago it came to light that Futurewei Technologies, a company that provides information and communication technology services, is under the orders of the Chinese manufacturer. That is, it is owned by Huawei.

This was attempted to cover up. In fact, an anonymous source related to some of Futurewei's movements stated that, even though the firm was trying to eliminate any apparent relationship with Huawei, it would continue to be owned by it. Why did you try this? Well, so as not to be involved in controversies with the United States, one of the many countries in which it operates, and to continue with the relationships it has had with various companies. But he only tried to carry out what was said there.

Huawei, as the owner of Futurewei, is now having in mind the dismissal of hundreds of the employees of this subsidiary, according to the information that Reuters recently posted. It should be noted that it does not have more than 1,000 workers, according to estimates, so the operation of this branch in the United States would be greatly affected.

It will be interesting to see if this move takes place and somewhat regrettable at the same time. But It is something that arises, more than anything, from the trade war between the United States and China, and not so much of the supposed "back doors" that Huawei implements in its network equipment and more to extract classified information from governments and common users.
