“I don’t see that problem, because in the Chinese market, the consumer business has not seen a decline,” Ren said。 “It’s just that there might be declines overseas。 In the worst case, 40%, but now it’s less than 20%。 And that kind of decline is also changing。 As I look at the declines in the consumer business, that would be about 10% roughly, so it’s not that big。 ”
“We are making adjustments internally so we project there might be a slowdown, but until yesterday’s report I didn’t see any slowdown,” Ren said。 “And we don’t know what will be the growth by the end of the year。 But we believe the $30 billion will be a very small thing。”
“We don‘t have pressure on our shoulder and I think this time, this issue is a test for us。 If we weather the storm, then we will get stronger。 So, what doesn’t kill you will get you stronger。 In China, we say the phoenix will rise from the fire and the bird that doesn‘t get killed by the fire is phoenix。 And we believe in this big fire will address this issue at our hand。”

当主持人问道,两年后华为还会不会再从美国公司购买跟以前一样多的零部件时,任正非是这么回答的:
“Maybe even more。 They can‘t-- for all these years, American suppliers have contributed to Huawei。 If we do not buy from them when we can, then that will be a blame on our conscience。 But however, we are not to blame。 Now there is a restriction on us to buy from them。 Actually, until today we’re still placing orders to American suppliers。 They just-- those suppliers have to ask approval from Washington。 If they get approval, we can still buy from them。 If they don‘t get approval, then we have to find other ways。”
