Huawei’s founder warned of a shocking future for the tech company in a leaked internal document, saying that if the company is to survive over the next three years, it should turn to more employee layoffs and divestment.
“The next decade will be a very painful historical period, coinciding with the continued decline of the global economy,” Ren Chengfei told the Huawei team, referring to the pandemic, the impact of the Ukrainian war, and the “continuous blockade” of some Chinese companies by the United States.
Ren continued, “Huawei should lower its overly optimistic expectations for the future, and survival should become the most important guideline until 2023 or 2025. We shouldn’t just survive, we should survive elegantly.”
Huawei, usually the largest Chinese company, is managing significant declines in revenue and profits. Revenues declined by 14% in the first three months of this year, while the net profit margin shrank from 11.1% last year, to only 4.3% during the first quarter of this year.
The company has been at the center of US-China tensions, which have seen Washington and some Western countries ban Huawei from their markets, citing national security concerns. The company was also banned from buying some foreign technologies as well.

Prime Minister Alexander De Croo (Open Vld) has announced that he will convene a Consultation Committee on rising energy prices “short term“, according to our colleagues from the VRT. The Prime Minister was responding to a question raised by Conner Rousseau, the president of Vooruit.
“Everyone is on deck. Winter is coming, we need to make the bills affordable“, said Alexander De Croo, believing that it was necessary to convene the advisory committee, “if only to see what the different initiatives of the governments are and how we can do the maximum together to protect people as much as possible”, he once more told VRT NWS.
“We know we are heading into a crisis that might last a long time, so we need to look at what steps we can take to ensure people use as little energy as possible. This will be the cheapest“, he clarified.
The Swiss women’s team suffered a setback in qualifying for Euro 2023. In the 1st of 2 decisive matches once morest Bosnia, they lost 3-1 in Sarajevo.
After trailing 2 sets to 0 (25-19 25-20) and saving 3 match points in the 3rd set, the Swiss regained hope by winning the 3rd set (28-26). But the illusion was short-lived, Bosnia winning the 4th set 25-23.
In the group of Switzerland, Greece has so far logically proven to be the strongest team. And as only the teams ranked 1st and 2nd of the 6 groups qualify for the final phase of the Euro next year, the 2 matches once morest Bosnia are therefore decisive.
Thus, following the defeat in Sarajevo, Switzerland absolutely needs a victory in the second duel once morest the Bosnians in order to maintain its chances of participating in the Euro. They will meet the Bosnians next Saturday at Schönenwerd.
