How is Huawei doing? The question deserves to be asked as the Chinese giant has suffered major setbacks, particularly in the smartphone market, since the implementation of American sanctions. The firm has nevertheless been able to react with a certain skill by launching its own software solutions: Harmony OS on the one hand, and the HMS environment (Huawei Mobile Services) on the other. This direction, taken at a forced pace by the brand, has in particular made it possible to accelerate and strengthen the development of its own ecosystem, with an increasingly marked interconnection between its various devices through solutions such as Huawei Share for example.

Enough to raise in our minds some questions about Huawei's projects, this time in the portable PC segment, a market for the moment largely spared by the sanctions from across the Atlantic.

On the occasion of the event dedicated to the presentation of the new Huawei MateBook 14S (a premium ultraportable that we were able to take in hand), we met Stéphane Curtelin, Marketing Director of Huawei France. That was good, Clubic had five questions to ask him, and he had a few minutes to give us.
