In 2019, the United States' trade war with China expanded to
blacklist the Chinese tech titan Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. The
resulting attention showed the information and communications
technology (ICT) firm entwined with China's political-economic
transformation. But the question remained: why does Huawei matter?
Yun Wen uses the Huawei story as a microcosm to understand China's
evolving digital economy and the global rise of the nation's
corporate power. Rejecting the idea of the transnational
corporation as a static institution, she explains Huawei's
formation and restructuring as a historical process replete with
contradictions and complex consequences. She places Huawei within
the international political economic framework to capture the
dynamics of power structure and social relations underlying
corporate China's globalization. As she explores the contradictions
of Huawei's development, she also shows the ICT firm's complicated
interactions with other political-economic forces. Comprehensive
and timely, The Huawei Model offers an essential analysis of
China's dynamic development of digital economy and the global
technology powerhouse at its core.
