Huawei aims for growth, Malaysia moves into batteries
The inside story on the Asia tech trends that matter, from Nikkei Asia and the Financial Times Hi everyone, this is Lauly, your #techAsia host this week, saying hello from warm and humid Bangkok. I hope you are enjoying the summer so far. I am thrilled to be in the Thai capital this week, not only because I got the chance to meet my colleagues who gathered from across the region for a Nikkei Asia editorial meeting, but also because I finally reunited with my longtime friend who I hadn't seen for more than 10 years. We were very close when we both did a post-graduate program in the U.K., and we remained in touch from time to time when I returned to Taiwan and she to China. But after she joined a very large Chinese tech company, a frequent target of Washington, we drifted apart over the years due to the nature of our jobs and the escalating U.S.-China tech war. She was no longer able to freely share insights into her work and life like before, and I respected that. So I was surprised when she contacted me a while ago saying that she has been relocated outside of China, which gives her more flexibility to meet and catch up.
