The untold story of the mysterious family dynasty at the center of China s Huawei.
On December 1, 2018, Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of China s most powerful company, Huawei Technologies, was detained at the request of U. S. authorities as she prepared to board a flight out of Vancouver, Canada. The detention of Huawei s female scion set the U. S. -China trade skirmish on fire and, for the first time, revealed the Ren family s prominence in Beijing s power structure.
In The Listening State, acclaimed Washington Post reporter Eva Dou exposes the untold story of the rise of Ren Zhengfei and the mysterious family dynasty at the center of Huawei, whose connections to state apparatus reveal a deeper truth about China s surveillance web and its global ambitions. Through its technologies, Huawei has helped solidify and enforce China s growing police state, in which outspoken entrepreneurs like Jack Ma have been silenced, tycoons have disappeared, and executives must put patriotism above profit.
Based on over a decade of on-the-ground reporting and an astonishing trove of confidential documents never published in English, The Listening State paints an epic story of familial and political intrigue that shines a clarifying light on how business and government work together in an authoritarian state, and how companies fit into China s international ambitions under Xi Jinping.
The story of Ren Zhengfei and Huawei exposes the human face of China s modern security state and gets to the heart of the central questions of the U. S. -China trade war: How did these turbocharged Chinese companies emerge? Who really controls them? And what does China s growing surveillance web mean for the Chinese people and for the rest of the world?

PRAISE FOR HOUSE OF HUAWEI
In House of Huawei, Eva Dou uncovers how Huawei has become China s most successful tech company and a lightning rod for geopolitical competition. Based on unique interviews and deep research into the company s history, House of Huawei provides the most in-depth account of Huawei s rise and its complex and controversial connections to China s security state. House of Huawei is essential reading for understanding China s tech sector and the China-US tech competition.
Chris Miller, author of Chip War
A groundbreaking work on China s most important company. More than online shopping or video apps, the Communist Party is obsessed with telecommunications networks, semiconductors, and surveillance systems. At last we have a book that unveils Huawei s deepest mysteries.
Dan Wang, fellow at Yale Law School s Paul Tsai China Center
Eva Dou s House of Huawei is an extraordinary feat of both reporting and historical research, providing an unprecedented look inside one of the world s most important companies. Huawei is now a central player in the technological contest between the US and China, and this book is a fascinating account of how it became so powerful and so controversial.
Matthew Campbell, co-author of Dead in the Water
A revelatory deep dive into the company that sparked the US-China battle for technological supremacy. Vividly written, exhaustively researched, and packed with riveting inside-the-room details, House of Huawei is the most comprehensive account yet of China s leading tech giant. An indispensable resource for understanding Chinese state capitalism and how it fuels geopolitical competition.
Edward Fishman, senior research scholar at Columbia University and author of Chokepoints
A gripping read charting the ascent of Huawei, China s tech powerhouse. Meticulously reported, Eva Dou s narrative combines geopolitics, spying, and technological innovation with the human story of a former People s Liberation Army engineer who became a global business titan.
Lionel Barber, former editor of the Financial Times
In House of Huawei, journalist Eva Dou has written a fascinating and sweeping history of the company and the key individuals behind the firm s success. Unlike most contemporary accounts of the company and its relationship to the Chinese government, [Dou s narrative draws] out the contradictions in Huawei s status as a reluctant national champion that founder Ren Zhengfei once complained was not trusted by either the Chinese or the US government. Dou provides a particularly rich story fabric that captures the company s complex evolution over several decades as it has become the poster child of US-China technology competition. Required reading for any serious student of US-China relations and the race to dominate the technologies of the future. A superb and nuanced summary of the good, the bad, and the ugly that characterizes the firm s history, and shows how the sausage was made with unflagging balance and fairness.
Paul Triolo, partner for China and technology policy lead at Albright Stonebridge Group
A timely, clear, and undeniably worrying account.
Kirkus
Authoritative a tale that sits at the heart of the most significant geopolitical relationship today.
Financial Times
A comprehensive and instructive account of [Huawei's] rapid ascent to become China s most powerful company . . . There s probably no better account of China s rise to economic dominance as seen through the prism of a single company.
The Wall Street Journal
Dou s command of her subject is indisputable and her book is determinedly even-handed The intricate reporting of Huawei, in all its ambiguity and complexity, sheds much light on the murky nature of modern geopolitics. The people who shout the loudest about Huawei don t know more than anyone else about it. Eva Dou does.
