Gary Shapiro, president of the U.S. Consumer Technology Association, the organizer of the CES, said he was impressed by China's innovation in the consumer technology industry.

He said that China's importance in the global consumer technology industry has been reflected not only by its strong manufacturing ability, but also its increasing engagement in innovation.

"Huawei is such an important growing company, not only in China but globally," said Shapiro. "The keynote platform of CES, which is considered one of the most desirable in the world for any business executive, is appropriate for such an important company to deliver the message we look forward to hearing."

While the intelligent phone remains a concept, Huawei has been testing the idea in its collaboration with Amazon and Google.

Huawei has introduced Amazon's Alexa AI software to its Mate 9 smartphone, the world's first smartphone to be equipped with the intelligent voice service of Alexa.

Yu also announced at the CES 2017 that the Mate 9 phones will be available in the United States starting Jan. 6 for 599 dollars apiece.

"In this industry we need partnerships, we cannot do everything by ourselves ... and we want the best partnerships to bring the best innovation together," Yu said.

Besides the two tycoons Amazon and Google, Huawei is also going to cooperate with Microsoft, Intel and many other companies in different fields.

"To Huawei, 2017 is a pivotal year. We need time to win trust from consumers," Yu said, adding Huawei will unveil more highly intelligent smartphones this year, such as its P10 and P10 Plus with Amazon's Alexa technology and Google's service.

"In the past decades, we humans have witnessed great changes in technology. It is our dream that innovation and the innovated products could push us to move forward rapidly," he said.

"Huawei is much more like a long-distance runner. We focus more on the future instead of making a great fortune overnight," Yu said.
