On being asked why he opened up to the media recently, telecom equipment maker Huawei's Founder Ren Zhengfei said his public relations department forced him. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said that before last week, the 74-year-old had had less than 10 interviews since founding Huawei in 1987. Referring to some countries restricting Huawei, Ren said, "It would be their loss."
