Huawei founder¹ and CEO Ren Zhengfei said Monday that there are "absolutely no backdoors" in Huawei's equipment and the company is willing to sign no-backdoor agreements with other countries.

 

华为创始人兼总裁任正非周一表示，华为的设备“绝对没有后门”，华为愿与其它国家签署无后门协议。
 

 

He also said issues of network security and information security should be viewed separately.

 

The network of human society must not be prone² to problems as it connects 6.5 billion people and tens of millions of banks and countless³ enterprises. Thirty years of applications in 170 countries have proven that Huawei's network, which serves 3 billion people, is secure, Ren said.

 

However, information security is another question, Ren said. He described Huawei as a provider of "pipelines⁴" and "faucets," saying operators and content providers must be responsible for contents "running in the pipelines."

 

Ren made the remarks when having a dialogue with U.S. futurist George Gilder⁵ and Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, at Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen.
