China sees a US political campaign against Chinese telecom giant Huawei, which should also slow down the country’s technological advancement.
The crackdown on the group is „not a mere case of justice, but a deliberate political move to pimp it,“ said Foreign Minister Wang Yi today at a press conference in Beijing.
China will take „all necessary measures“ to protect the interests of its companies and citizens. „We are committed not only to the interests of a company, but also to the legitimate rights of a nation to development – and thus to the fundamental rights of all countries that want to climb the technological ladder,“ said Wang Yi at the annual meeting of the People’s Congress ,
US allegations against China and Huawei
The US claims that the world’s largest network equipment supplier can spy on or sabotage its telecom products, but no evidence has yet been provided. Also push the US other countries, such as the expansion of their mobile networks on the super-fast 5G standard to use no Huawei equipment.
The US allegations go even further. Due to bank fraud in avoiding sanctions against Iran, the US has arrested the arrest of Finance Director and daughter of group founder, Meng Wanzhou, in Canada and is demanding their extradition. In addition, the Tech Group is accused of money laundering, fraud, conspiracy to obstruct the judiciary and industrial espionage.
Huawei lawsuit against USA
Conversely, the technology group is now taking legal action against the US government, according to the company’s incumbent chairman, Guo Ping. The lawsuit filed at a US district court in Plano, Texas, is directed primarily at a ban on US authorities banning the purchase and use of Huawei technology and services.
