More and more people are using mobile phones now. Smartphones are used as televisions, cameras and music players. They are also used for sending e—mails or surfing the Internet. If someone talks about mobile phones, many Chinese will think of Huawei.
In China, even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Ren Zhengfei set up Huawei Company in 1987. After more than 30 years of development, the company has become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier(供应商)of 5G.
But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban(禁令)on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “The ban from the U. S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £400 at the beginning but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic(浪漫的) as you imagine.”
Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

Recently, the result of the national reading survey has been announced (宣布) and it paints a brighter future for reading habits in the Internet times. Last year, 21,270 men from 55 cities answered the survey. It showed that the Chinese people’s reading rate went up slightly over the year before. Reading rate means the percentage of citizens regularly reading books, newspapers and digital reading materials.
The survey shows that the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books, printed newspapers and magazines have dropped, while digital reading has continuously increased. Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones, personal computers or iPads for 100.41 minutes on average (平均), 15.5 percent higher than the year before.
According to the survey, Chinese people’s reading habits have changed because mobile phones provide more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms. More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading, mostly on mobile phones.
Another interesting result is that an increasing number of people like to listen to audiobooks (有声读物). More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audiobooks, higher than the year before. It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work — many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours, which leads to the greater need for audiobooks. People’s reading habits are changing with social changes. In my opinion, the relevant authorities (相关机构) should notice it and shouldn’t fall behind.
