Huawei’s internal corruption has always been a top priority. As early as 2005, Huawei management adopted the “EMT Declaration” and required all cadres at various levels to comply in an attempt to eliminate internal corruption. In January 2013, Huawei held a high-profile “board of self-declaration of oaths.” Reports have it that Teng Hongfei won an internal management award this year. Teng Hongfei, originally a professional manager, came to Huawei in 2014. In his early years, he served as general manager of Nokia West, South, and then switched in 2012 to Samsung as Samsung Electronics Southern Region General Manager.
