EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Huawei tech hub in Shenzhen, and the company CEO's tech vision

Huawei’s name means “Chinese achievement,” and the tech giant’s global success is evident at its headquarters in Shenzhen.

“The West now suffers from being a welfare society – there’s an issue of strikes. In the future, you use robots. They don’t strike. All they need is batteries,” Huawei’s founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei told CTV News Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme in a rare, two-hour interview.Huawei is in the global race to shape the technological future, and the first change on the horizon is the development of a 5G, or “fifth generation,” telecom network.

Ren told LaFlamme that he would never risk alienating his customers around the world by providing a back door to information for the Chinese government. He also said he “firmly” supports U.S. tech and social media giants, such as Facebook, Twitter and Google, entering China. The company employs 180,000 people globally, and 60,000 of them work at the Shenzhen headquarters. A newly-built Huawei research and development complex in Dongguan, north of Shenzhen, replicates 12 European cities -- including Paris and Verona – and has its own tram system.
