Frankly I think there are a lot of false rumors posted here about Huawei. If you think you heard something about the company, don't trust it. Do your own homework.

Here are some examples of false information being posted here:

1. "Huawei doesn't get government support"

Truth: Huawei is partly own by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a government institute. Huawei's chairman is currently a member of the Communist Party of China. As a "national champion" company Huawei has been getting tax break and incentives from the government of China.

2. "Huawei is losing ground to the big boys"

Truth: Did you know that Huawei used to be a supplier for Motorola? Now they're kicking Moto's ass. They're a supplier turn competitor company.

3. "I heard that Huawei's R&D hasn't come up with any new products and they're losing"

Truth: Huawei is the top patent applicant in China and the fourth in the world in 2007 according to WIPO PCT after Matsushita, Phillips and Siemens.

4. "Huawei lost the top spot for TD-SCDMA contract in China"

Truth: Actually this is true. ZTE is tops in China right now for 3G equipment. But the difference in their market share is like....1%.
FYI, Huawei won the most 3G network contact GLOBALLY in 2008, not just from developing countries but also from reputable companies like BT, Vodafone and T-Mobile . Over half of Huawei's revenue is derived from overseas. So look at the big picture!

So guys, please. Read information posted here with a grain of salt.
