Huawei appointed Wang Tao (54) as vice chairman and rotating chairman for H1 2026, replacing Hu Houkun, as 2025 revenue growth slowed sharply to +2.2% (880.9B yuan) from +22.4% the prior year. The reshuffle signals a deliberate generational transition at the top of China's leading tech hardware player, relevant for any enterprise evaluating long-term Huawei infrastructure or 5G/AI stack commitments.
