The Secrete Code Names Used by Huawei and ZTE By Sunny Chao | Epoch Times | December 7, 2018   The big Chinese companies use code names instead of directly mentioning one another at high-level internal meetings. The most common and simplest code is to add an X after the first name (of the other company’s name), or an X before the last word. Huawei’s code for ZTE is “26” and ZTE’s code for Huawei is “F7,” said Sina blog.   So what does “26” and “F7” mean? “26” is the homonym of “second-rate.” Huawei considers itself a first-class company compared to ZTE. Huawei refers to ZTE as a “second-class” company because it’s not a leader in tech innovation. “Second-class” connotes a sense of contempt and it also refers to the letter “Z” in ZTE as the last letter of the alphabet. “F7” is the homonym of husband and wife. The abbreviation of Huawei is HW—husband and wife—the first meaning of the husband and wife comes from this. Secondly, Huawei always has incidents of marital affairs. Hauwei’s boss Ren Zhengfei has gotten married three times and the latter two were his secretaries—ZTE makes fun of it.   The code names have certain meanings and connotations—they are also used to strike one another.   Edited added this info: Huawei CFO Accused of Fraud for Hiding Business Relations with Iran, Court Hears   Epoch Times Source Article Here
