In case you are wondering about the weird title of that story.
Guess it is true. White people cannot pronounce Hauwei. So they cling to anything remotely similar.
The irony probably is not loss on the boss Ren Zhengfei. He claimed in an interview when asked about how did he decide on the name of the company which people thought was impressive, he admitted he hated it.
After they registered the trademark, Ren Zhengfei did not like the name Hauwei at all. But they were penniless so they had to keep that name for the company.
