Huawei boss Ren Zhengfei has offered to provide US companies with the 5G technology. Ren told the New York Times that Huawei “is open to sharing our 5G technologies with US companies so they can build their own 5G industry, creating a balance between China, the US and Europe.”

“But,” he added, “the US side will have to accommodate us in some ways, and American companies can also modify our 5G technologies to meet their security needs.” You could even “change the software code”.

The value of the company’s entire 5G technology portfolio could add tens of billions of dollars to a sale, the report said.
