Vice[0] visited a (can't recall if it was Shenzhen or not and can't re-watch the video now) campus in May and took footage of the campus. It's a little strange, but descriptions of it make it sound stranger than normal I think. It definitely doesn't help that the trip was meant to show foreign press that Huawei wasn't copying foreign companies or spying on foreign nations.
Reporter: It's nice to meet you. Thanks for taking the time.
Official: You look quite young.
Me: Oh yeah? That is what you going to say when you met a Reporter? Huawei? (Young could also imply "inexperienced")
Also, Huawei already know the age of the reporter, saying he was born in 1997. Is this normal? To speak somebody's age out loud and laugh like that?
Plus, she can't even pronounce Chinese correctly. At 5:01, she said Li'Shen'Zi'Ben, it should be Li'Shen'Zhi'Ben (立身之本).
Plus plus: https://youtu.be/QxR0dNR7qrw?t=372. She can't answer that? I guess she is expecting the reporter to come here just for walking the park.
My conclusion: This woman should not be qualified for she's job. I guess you could only hire this level of workers (and probably force them to work 996) if your company don't have the spirit.
BTW: It seems somebody is down voting negative comments against Huawei. For those, one lesson here is, Karma means nothing to me, take more than just that to change my opinion.
The Vice reporter is too amateurish and unprofessional for this interview, I'm already surprised Huawei took him as seriously as they did. His whole shtick seems to be "this is a high school field trip where I prank the hosts". Would be more impressed if he asked actual insightful questions re tech transfer claims.
The video also points out that Vice was the only media there. I kind curious about how many people Huawei had chance to "took seriously".
Also, "amateurish and unprofessional" is kind weird word choice. What "professional" thing the reporter should do? Grow a beard? Wear a suit at all time?
Relax, a clever report won't waste their time there, because they knew what exactly Huawei was going to put out that day.
This reminds me of an old (communist-old) polish joke:
Why are all the houses in the village of Wąchock painted white? Because the mayor thereof heard that "no bomb shall ever fall on a white house"
There were a lot more, including: why are all the houses in Wąchock round? Because the fortuneteller told mayor that he'll get slapped in the face behind the corner.
Oh, fun times. But yes, it's amazingly decandent how all those companies build up their campuses. I have comparison with a german campus in Hamburg, where the feel that I got was more of a tired and forced one, even with all the new developments and efforts to keep it up to date.

> The campus also features a replica of the White House that is used as a lab and testing building
Lol, wtf?
I mean, Apple's spaceship isn't any less crazy but the sheer wierdness of these big tech campuses is beyond me
