Swiss online magazine “Republik” and other European outlets have taken a close look at the work culture of network technology and smartphone maker Huawei. Investigators concluded that the Chinese corporation was overly consuming its workforce.
Even the language is bellicose. Superiors liked to use military metaphors: terms such as “battle”, “front”, “elite troops” or “artillery noise” were part of corporate communications, and draconian regulations even governed the private lives of employees. . The Chinese who earn more at Huawei in Europe than at home will claim the difference after their return, in a specific case 60,000 francs.
Auweia: Huawei, a company from China!
Until now, the language rule in Switzerland was that the digital giant, which is based in Liebefeld near Bern and supplies network components to telcos like Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt, must be viewed as strictly private. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the political situation in the Middle Kingdom and is therefore an ideal partner for European nations and corporations striving for the 5G mobile communications standard.
Whoever believed it wallowed happily in Huawei’s technical blessings. The United States did not believe it, put the competitor on a boycott list for the necessary components of its production and put political pressure on the Europeans.
The “Republic” investigation shows that the Americans are right: Huawei is a wholly Chinese company, embedded in the communist power structure and its disciplinary system: China’s citizens, especially workers, are subject to the will and values of those in power, also abroad.
Wherever a Chinese student, a Chinese technician, a Chinese researcher works, he is at the service of the Chinese regime, whether he wants it or not.
Universities and companies around the world have had this experience for years. It faces the three Cs of China’s development strategy: copy, buy, steal.
The fourth K is the crucial one: communism. The CCP determines the well-being and misfortune of all Chinese and all Chinese. Anyone you pick up will be abandoned, whether they are culturally independent Uighurs, whether they are critical and cosmopolitan doctors and scientists in the Corona area of origin in Wuhan, whether they are freedom-loving students in Hong Kong – the camp or prison is safe for them .
The dictatorship, which digitally monitors billions of people, is controlled from Beijing: those who behave well are rewarded with points, which means advantages in life, those who behave badly in the eyes of their peers are punishable by deduction of points, whatever the loss or the denial of benefits entails.
Above all is Xi Jinping, the leader, whose works are studied in universities, a mix of reborn Mao Zedong and digital Stalin, for people who want to be free, an ever-immovable threat and with a confident smile. .
Anyone who tells a joke about Xi will be caught.
What does all this have to do with Switzerland? The Swiss Confederation, which claims that its mythical ancestor Tell did not salute the Gesslerhuts, has become deeply involved with China: with its capitalist side, which is the specialty of this Far Eastern communism, seemingly irresistible to the lucrative Switzerland of the 21st century. Magic that led to a free trade agreement in 2014.
Yes, one likes doing business with entrepreneurial-minded Asians, and mutters reservations about their totalitarian raison d’etat so quietly that their rulers can easily see it as a mandatory exercise. Chinese security officials were officially allowed to track their country’s citizens in Switzerland, at the expense of Swiss taxpayers.
In the German business newspaper “Handelsblatt”, ETH professor Renate Schubert revealed to the political public under the headline “America versus China – and where is Switzerland located?”, What pot of gold can be won for the Swiss Confederation by end of the Chinese-political rainbow: “Then could The main conflict between the United States and China actually fits well with the Swiss ‘business model’.”
What needs to be said, needs to be said.
There is also something to be said about Huawei, this private sector company that is so completely independent from the rulers of China and is in all respects compatible with Switzerland, in the form of a short but fiery story: its main character is Jack Ma, founder and longtime director of the Alibaba Group. Global Internet figure, billionaire, one of the richest men in China, powerful and therefore independent, as you might think. Ma apparently meant that too and expressed a differentiated skepticism towards the economic policy regulations of the Communist rulers.
Since then it has disappeared.
When Xi Jinping snaps his finger, huaweia!
