Did they really need a poll to figure that shit out? I mean… they could have just, looked out a window or something… turned on a TV… gotten on social media… called a friend?

Huawei going to predict the future? Nope, say company leaders when asked about Joe Biden winning US election

Huawei is uncertain whether a change in leadership in Washington DC will resolve its ongoing woes with the US government, company representatives have told The Register .

“We don’t really know what Joe Biden stands for,” said Sir Kenneth Olisa, Huawei board member. "It’s a bit of a mystery… The politics in America are so complicated at the moment; it’s very hard to see how it’s going to pan out on the other side.

“At the moment, there’s a bi-partisan dislike of China, but that’s not the same thing as an antagonism to Huawei per se.”
