The ongoing Huawei saga chops and changes in the USA with Trump blocking and then opening trade and Huawei sanction talks with China depending on the news cycle. Boris Johnson is expected to abandon plans to incorporate Huawei technology in the rollout of its 5G network, having faced strong opposition in the Conservative Party, as well as public disillusionment with Beijing because of the pandemic and now the Hong Kong clampdown.
There have been serious cybersecurity concerns because of the close connection between Huawei and the Chinese government with fears that it would allow Beijing global access for surveillance purposes. It is the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world and sells its products in 170 countries.
It was founded on 15 September 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, who was a military technologist with the People’s Liberation Army and because of his background he has been rewarded with Chinese government contracts.
If accurate, the Huawei chart indicates a rocky road ahead with a disruptive tr Uranus opposition Pluto in 2020/early 2021; a devastating Solar Arc Neptune square Pluto within months; and an undermining tr Neptune opposition Sun and square Uranus in 2021. 2022/23 it has tr Pluto square Jupiter for a confident push back but then runs into two poleaxing Solar Arcs in 2024 and 2025 of Pluto square Mars and then Saturn, which look devastating and destructive.
Ren Zhengfei, 25 October 1944, is a ruthlessly determined Sun, Mercury, Mars in Scorpio square Pluto trine Saturn. He’s struggling under similarly sticky and discouraging influences now and ahead with an upheaval from tr Uranus square Pluto this month onwards, and a sagging tr Neptune opposition his Sun/Pluto midpoint 2020/21; plus a blocked Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his Sun in 2025.
Meng Wanzhou, 13 February 1972. His daughter and CFO of Huawei was arrested in Canada in late 2018 on a US extradition request and has been indicted by the US DoJ on trade secrets theft charges. She could potentially face 10 years in prison.
Her chart has some highs and confidence surges ahead as well as a few panicky moments; but she looks in good spirit in 2022/23 with tr Pluto conjunct her Sun/Jupiter midpoint – so her immediate predicament may be resolved.
Thanks Marjorie! Very intriguing. I’ve heard a UK representative of the company talking about how they aren’t linked with the Chinese government, but honestly can’t see how you get around the founder’s own background, for a start. Surely it’s all part of China’s ‘soft power’ strategy? Their equipment is excellent, of course. A Gemini Moon in their chart seems appropriate for communications, plus the Mercury/Neptune square is wide but does hint at things not being quite what they seem.
I also read that China may now pull out of building a nuclear power plant in Essex. That might be a good thing, one way or another…..
