Chapter Three | Emerging Policy and Regulatory Trends Huawei’s Place in the Digital Economy What many people don’t realize is that Huawei is a truly international player, meaning we have operations and business interests that span the globe. Although we originated in China, today we operate in some 170 countries and count employees from some 170 nationalities among our ranks. That’s from the perspective of geography. From the perspective of product markets, we also span a very wide spectrum of the digital economy, having started out as a reseller of switches to our current position as industry leader in network equipment, number two globally in consumer devices, and fast‐growing challenger in the cloud computing space. Figure 2.1 (below) depicts Huawei’s presence both geographically and on different product markets. To read more, check out chapter two of the full White Paper.

Huawei | Trade and the Digital Economy | White Paper Key Points and Findings CHAPTER THREE | EMERGING POLICY AND REGULATORY TRENDS The underlying legal and regulatory environment in which companies like Huawei operate is struggling to keep pace with technological developments and the quick pace of innovation that characterizes this sector. Many countries are enacting rules and setting up regulatory regimes that have a direct impact on the digital economy. Whether it be with the objective of better protecting the data privacy of their citizens, beefing up national law enforcement capabilities in the face of increasing cyber‐security threats, or in the hope of kick‐starting their own domestic ICT industries, governments in many countries, both developed and developing are becoming increasingly interventionist in this sector. Chapter Three of our White Paper analyzes a number of these policy and regulatory trends and discuss how they fit into the broader international consensus that has emerged over the last two decades with respect to global internet governance and emerging trade rules on the digital economy.
