   In an interview, Charlie Chen, Huawei's senior vice president for marketing and product management in the U.S., said his company consciously saved the huge U.S. market for last, to give it time to polish its products and build a reputation.
   
   "U.S. operators have very high requirements," Chen said.
   
   Founded in 1988, Huawei became one of the biggest telecom gear suppliers in China before launching into emerging countries, where low prices are the key to sales. It then entered Europe, where it has landed orders with top carriers like BT Group PLC, also known as British Telecom, and Vodafone Group PLC.
   
   The U.S. government raised an obstacle earlier this year, blocking a deal that would have Huawei buy a stake in 3Com Corp., a Marlborough, Mass.-based maker of networking equipment that supplies the Defense Department.
   
   Chen said the deal, which involved Bain Capital as the main acquirer, was beset by "rumors and misunderstandings" about Huawei: That it was owned by the Chinese military and that it had strong connections to the Chinese government.
   
   In fact, Huawei is fully owned by its Chinese employees, Chen said, under an Employee Stock Ownership Plan similar to the one used by some U.S. companies.

   Chen emphasized that of its 70,000 employees, half are in research and design.

   "Right now we're between steps two and three," said Chen.
   ...
   Chen agreed. "When big operators select a vendor, they don't select on price," he said.
