to many Chinese there is no better
example of success than the tech giant
Huawei but it's also at the center of a
storm of accusations of intellectual
property theft and ties with the Chinese
government with all the controversy it's
really easy to overlook something this
company does innovate and it does it in
a very different way than we do in the
west why is it that a Chinese company is
leading the way in building the next
generation of the internet
there's no doubt that the Chinese
Communist Party uses its Central
authority to force change in ways that
aren't possible in Western democracies
but another key reason is the intense
work culture it can be brutal with six
day weeks and 12-hour days being the
norm Junior Associates Newan and Luen
are currently taking part in huawei's
brand of basic training here all new
employees even office workers must learn
the art of deploying 5G base
stations they train for a variety of
terrain from Urban centers to the kind
of remote mountains that guo province is
known for and that Huawei specializes in
reaching the training we saw is hard to
describe Western observers often call
the Huawei Company culture
militaristic that's probably part of the
story but there's also something else
Huawei tries to motivate its employees
in ways that probably would not fly in
Western
industry wongin leads the training for
new

recruits this is our training area I
think it's different than the training
facilities in most other
companies our facilities are Outdoors on
top of a
mountain this slogan how would I
translate it for
foreigners if you want to take more
responsibilities you must work harder in
the
training Huawei was founded by Ren who
started his career in the Chinese Army
he then went on to found Huawei whose
name literally means Chinese
[Music]
achievement what I find interesting is
how the posters around campus Echo the
propaganda style of the Chinese
government they talk about the
importance of sacrifice and hard work in
aiding China's technological
development a lot of what Beijing tries
to do is it it's trying trying to use
ideology to Corral a lot of the dynamic
firms um and people in China to pursue
the goals that it really wants to
have my job is to train the young people
to develop the spirit of bitter struggle
to train everyone to become full with
Vigor only when you have suffered can
you understand the sweet things in life
people live good lives now they never
have experienced the struggle the point
of this place is to give them a taste of
that
