Huawei’s Yu Chengdong on Embracing a Tech-Driven Mindset: “Humanities Would Be My Downfall,” Says Executive at Tsinghua Speech
Huawei’s consumer chief Richard Yu stated at Tsinghua University that developing ecosystems is tougher than creating OS systems. Speaking on May 23, he emphasized HarmonyOS—now running on 800 million devices globally—as an innovative, infrastructure-independent platform. Yu, a 1993 Huawei veteran behind key telecom patents, urged engineering graduates to join the company’s software initiatives, framing OS development as foundational for smart industries. He humorously contrasted his technical expertise with humanities, underscoring Huawei’s focus on cross-sector innovation for ecosystem maturity.
