Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei today said the U.S. underestimated his company's capabilities after Washington blocked the Chinese telecom giant from using American suppliers and technologies amid a bitter #trade_war. The 75-year-old entrepreneur, worth $1.7 billion, said his company was fully prepared to face the ban from the Trump administration, but thanked his American business partners for helping Huawei grow along the years. The owner of the world's second largest smartphone maker however admitted that his family actually preferred the products from its competitor Apple as they use iPhones instead of Huawei handsets.

Pols Demand Money For Hate Crime Office Amid Spike In Attacks
Lawmakers want #NYC to use an important weapon in the fight against hate crimes: money. #NYCCouncil members on Monday demanded funding for a new hate crime prevention office amid a massive spike in anti-Semitic attacks.
The Council passed a law in January to establish the Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes, which will coordinate efforts across the city's myriad government agencies to stem the tide of bias-fueled incidents.
But Mayor #BilldeBlasio's executive budget for the 2020 fiscal year includes only about 70 percent of the money the Council says the office needs — even as anti-Semitic hate crimes have more than doubled. The #NYPD has recorded 100 such attacks this year as of May 12, up from 49 in the same period last year.
