The origin of Huawei and ZTE names

1987, when Ren founded Huawei, several founding team members saw a slogan on the wall that read "Pay attention to China and make a difference", so they named the company Huawei. The name Huawei has always been a heart disease for Huawei. This name is used in China, which is excellent. However, when Huawei expanded its overseas market, it encountered a problem-Huawei is a silent voice, foreigners can't pronounce it, and it is often mispronounced as "Hawaii". At that time, Huawei once wanted to modify the brand name, but it did not change for various reasons, so it is still in use today.

ZTE is a joint venture between Chinese-funded State-owned 69 1 Factory, Hong Kong Yunxing Electronic Trading Company and Shenzhen Branch of Great Wall Industry Company. Hou Weigui used the word "Zhong" and "Xing" in Yunxing, so he called it "Zhongxing", which really means "China is prosperous".
