About the author

Cheng Dongsheng is a Chinese business writer who has long focused on corporate management and the growth paths of Chinese companies.

Twenty-one of his works are listed here, including Huawei: The Truth, Huawei's Thirty Years and Ren Zhengfei's Management Journal, as well as a book on Li Yanhong and Baidu. His writing, much of it appearing in business media, draws on firsthand corporate material and long-term observation; his style is plain and grounded in factual review and practical lessons. His works are usually classified under management and personal growth, and offer useful reference for readers seeking to understand Huawei's management practices.
