We're going to have seatbelts installed in the office chairs for reporters who cover Huawei.

I worry that the hairpin turns and sharp reversals in the company's fortunes are finally going to loosen our scribes' grip on their desks, where they've been white-knuckling it since 2018 began.

From massive revenues, profits and 5G equipment shipments to a nearly worldwide conspiracy to put the company in its place, the stories about Huawei Technologies Co.
