1. Introduction

Huawei is a private company, which differs from other Chinese successful companies that were supported by the government. It was established in 1988 in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. The company had a tough beginning, and started selling imported products before they could manufacture them. It grew rapidly by dominating global markets, and so far it has been one of World’s Top 500 Enterprises as well as the largest telecom vendor in domestic market (Fu & Fu, 2011).
This essay aims to find out the prime reasons why Huawei can be a leader in the telecommunicating field and why it has to exploit international markets instead of finding opportunities from the domestic consumers. What’s more, the essay targets the main rivals that have the same market positioning as Huawei.

Additionally, it is also necessary to point out the threats that Huawei are confronting and give some reasonable predication about its future.
