    In Germany they pronounce Huawei as literally Hua Wai

        It doesn’t depend on locality as much as it does on advertising.

        In the UK its either pronounced “wawhey” or “that Chinese company” depending on speaker.

          Exactly. There’s a massive difference between “wawhey” and “Hua Wai”. I was shocked when i first heard that it was supposed to be pronounced the first way
