Huawei: An Aircraft Carrier from a Garage and the New Metaphysics of Technology

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Huawei's evolution, viewed not just as a corporation but as a key element of China's strategy of technological sovereignty. The author deconstructs the rhetoric of the company's founder, presenting it as a tool for building operational coherence and legitimizing quasi-state activities. The text discusses in detail the role of 5G infrastructure as a "power architecture," challenging the myth of technology supplier neutrality. Safe City systems and biometrics are also analyzed in the context of surveillance ethics, and the impact of US sanctions on R&D development. The text is complemented by an examination of the unique ownership structure and the role of the party within the company, which makes Huawei a technological aircraft carrier in the global game of digital dominance and economic rent.
