Former Australian foreign Minister Donald Downer, former governor of Victoria, Zhou Ling, former Australian foreign Minister Donald Downer (Alexander Downer, pictured) and former Governor of Victoria Brumby (John Brumby, pictured below) will enter Huawei's Australian board of directors. Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. set up a subsidiary board in Australia.　　The Chinese Ministry of Commerce website said it was Huawei's first board of directors overseas. According to Xinhua's overseas financial report, Huawei will hire three former Australian senior officials as independent directors to join the new board of Directors of the Australian subsidiary of Huawei.　　The company also plans to increase the number of Australian employees from 400 to 600 people. The three former senior officials who joined the board were former Australian foreign Minister Donald Alexander Downer, former governor of Victoria Brumby John Brumby, and retired Australian navy major General John Lord.　　John Lord will also serve as chairman.　　Huawei's headquarters yesterday failed to confirm the news, as China is still on dragon boat holidays. Australia's big document Xinhua overseas Financial report, Huawei issued a statement yesterday that the board is part of its "localization" strategy, will be responsible for managing Huawei's development strategy in Australia, and to help further expand the Australian market.　　Huawei is now a major player in the Australian market, Jeremy Mitchell, head of corporate affairs, and is taking the board for granted in Australia.　　The board members of Huawei's Australian subsidiary also include Guo Fulin, chief executive of Huawei's Australian subsidiary, Liujiang, president of Huawei's South Pacific region, and New Jinghua Li and Chen Lifang of the global board in April this year, the report said.　　Huawei Australia announced its 2010 income of 171 million Australian dollars, an increase of 29%. Huawei has won a lot of contracts from the Australian market. Earlier this year, Vodafone and Huang Australia, the Australian telecoms operator, announced a full replacement of the existing 5,800 2G and 3G base stations with Huawei equipment.　　This May, Vividwireless, a WiMAX broadband service provider in Australia, announced plans to launch Australia's national LTE (4G) commercial service by the end of the year, and Huawei will provide 3G and LTE equipment.　　However, Huawei has not yet won a contract in the Australian national Broadband Network,nbn, which is laying the national high-speed Internet at $36 billion trillion ($ 37.3 billion).　　Huawei became the world's second-largest telecoms equipment manufacturer in the 2010 fiscal year in 2010, with an annual income of 185.2 billion yuan, not far from the first Ericsson (USD 30 billion) and a net profit of 23.8 billion yuan. The rugged overseas expansion road is becoming more and more bulkyIn recent years, the big Huawei has been involved in the National Broadband Network project under construction in Britain, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Brunei, but it has also faced some political barriers in overseas countries.　　Huawei has previously used similar measures to hire former government executives in the UK and the US to lobby local governments to reduce unnecessary worries about Huawei. In May this year, Huawei announced the appointment of Andrew Cahn, former CEO of the UK Trade and Investment Agency (Andrew Kain) as chairman of Huawei's UK advisory board.　　Huawei has also hired a number of former U.S. officials to lobby for easing the country's national security concerns over the country's foray into the U.S. market. But the effect is not good.　　Last November, when Sprint Nextel, America's third-largest mobile telecoms operator, had considered signing a billions of-dollar contract with Huawei, Sprint's boss received a phone call from Washington, where Sprint chose other suppliers.　　In February this year, the US government forced Huawei to abandon a small acquisition, the 2 million-dollar takeover of bankrupt 3Leaf. Huawei's efforts to reassure the outside world, February 25, Huawei on the company's Web site issued an open letter, unusually called "the United States government can be a formal investigation of all questions about Huawei."　　The following April 18, Huawei released its full 2010 annual report, and for the first time disclosed all the new board lists, resumes and photos. Huawei's growth has become the focus of media attention at home and abroad. "One move that could make Huawei truly transparent is to put part of Huawei on the market," The Economist wrote in a recent report.　　"But Huawei is concerned that becoming a public company may distract management and limit the company's decision-making freedom." "Huawei has two paths in the future: Chinese companies that retain Chinese culture are likely to have a family in the future, but that is not helpful in the face of competition with western giants." The other route is that Huawei needs to become a less secretive enterprise, which is what Ren wants, and of course there is a long way to go in the future. The economist said.
