SHENZHEN -- Huawei Technologies follows the laws of the countries in which it operates, CEO Ren Zhengfei told reporters on Friday, as he embarks on a charm offensive to counter security fears that have seen his company's products banned from a growing list of markets.

In a 90-minute interview with Nikkei and other Japanese outlets, he provided repeated assurances that Huawei's products are secure, asserting that "over the past 30 years, we have never had an issue with safety."
