We asked him why he sold it so early. He said there is no pure businesses (especially when you become big) in China . There are only “political businesses”. Everyone has to work with the government and plays dirty in order to survive. So he wanted out.&lt;p&gt;To be honest, as a Chinese, I don’t believe the claim that Huawei has no government ties. But I don’t think it’s what Huawei wants.</text></comment>
